Makes post holes so much easier to dig. The (heavy!!) weight eases the amount of digging effort needed. Easy to loosen the soil deep down by levering the spade. I still used a post-hole digger as "tweezers" to lift out the loose soil. It seems a daft design at first but clearly fit for purpose and digs a neat small diameter hole. It is very long so be aware of that when you figure out where to store it.
Great tool for price,robust and quality product.Did the job
Bought as a present. Person over the moon with it
I needed this to help dig a 48 inch deep, 14 inch wide hole and it worked brilliantly. It is very robust and weighty. The weight is good as I could drop it down the hole and it had enough momentum to dig in at the bottom and break up the earth that then could be removed using my post hole digger.
Toolstation's roughneck digging bar might have done the job just as well, but this was slightly cheaper and a bit longer.
A very good sturdy spade that can tackle most awkward soils
Not a very strong rabbitor. I feel it will break within a few weeks. Nice and heavy though.
Great product, certainly helps take a lot of the effort out of digging with is weight.
Great tool for digging holes for fence posts makes the job easier
Good, solid, effective and excellent tool. It was bought to replace a similar costed equivalent from another manufacturer, and proved to be better quality and better at it job. Hole digging time was reduced in half
just the best bit of kit, How did i survive without one for so long
Wasn't quite for the application I had in mind. Strong sturdy product
Best post hole spade i have used, makes easy work of the holes
very robust spade with long handle for easy use.
Plenty of leverage with the all metal construction
A little weak where the spade section meets the handle
With just light use I have managed to bend and actually tear the spade part of this tool. The neck is too narrow for the length of the lever, so it will bend and weaken before it eventually deforms. Either the neck needs to be wider or the handle shorter. Poor design. Dog plop.
Good quality product for its money can’t go wrong.
Great weight to it and well put together. Don’t try and break out concrete with it and it will treat you well. A great addition to the tool kit for any landscapers.
