I have this one as well and it works great in NC clay. However, let me give you one huge tip: Brace your arm against your ribs/side while gripping the left side of the handle, OR have a second person help you. If you don't, as soon as you hit a rock the auger will stop spinning and the motorhead will start spinning, and it will hit you so hard in the cockadoodle that you need to go to urgent care. Don't ask how I know

I have this exact one, paid $150 a couple years ago. It's great if you need 6" holes, but struggles with bigger auger diameters. I would recommend stronger setups if you need bigger holes. I bought an aftermarket 8" and 10" auger bit, and it can barely turn the 10" bit after about 6 inches of soil. Hope this helps.

This seems very similar, if not the same, as my Harbor Freight auger. That has done a good job while installing chain link fence posts, planting plants, installing mailbox posts, and just breaking up the ground in general. Plenty of power, a bit noisy, helps to be up wind from that 2 cycle exhaust, which is pretty close to your face and can get some baseball sized rocks out but anything larger will require a digging iron.
This was one of those "I could install the fence myself, save money on the labor and I have an excuse to buy another tool" ideas.
I believe I paid $180 a few years ago at Harbor Freight, so $136 sounds like a Slick Deal.

Have this exact one, it's helpful to dig holes but not powerful enough to dig through rocky TN ground by itself. End up using a combination of auger + post hole digger + post hole bar ( most useful )... Just use auger until it binds, then beat whatever it hit with post hole bar rinse repeat and use the post hole digger to just get all the loose dirt out.

I can't fault the auger tough even tractor mounted pto driven augers jam up on bigger roots and rock around here.

Yeah it's not uncommon to have briefcase sized rocks or larger, it's a pita.

Wouldn't this be better? Bigger engine and bigger hole. https://tools.woot.com/offers/lan...sh_tg_4_bs
1.3Kw = 1.73Hp. On the woot unit. Unfortunately no specs on the Home Depot unit.

There is also a 52cc one on Amazon that claims 2.4HP. https://www.amazon.com/DC-HOUSE-C...07FSMWMFM/

It comes with 6" and 10" seems like a great buy for the price.

72cc 6 and 10" Auger claimed 4HP (I doubt it).

It was back at $135 for Memorial Day weekend - I picked one up before the sale ended again last night.
