Spot on review, I found the same issue! And, for smaller folks like myself, it is a bit on the heavy side.

Yes, I probably should have mentioned that....especially after the 10th hole or so!

I like woodworking and have several Ryobi tools and they are pretty good. Better than I thought they would be. Anyway, subscribed to your channel to support a fellow Alaskan. (That auger wouldn’t work on my property which seems to be half rock and half soil).

I have a battery-operated weed eater that is Ryobi and I am happy with it. I also have a Ryobi fan that I keep in my camping trailer. I sold that auger right after I built the fence. Thanks for the support.

Thanks for the review. I just picked up an EGO, same basic machine. It's too powerful for me, it really rips you around, even with the smallest battery, I thought the anti-kickback would work better. I have very rocky soil (hardpan). I don't recommend getting one of these, my thigh still hurts from being smacked!

I agree, sold mine after 24 holes. Don't plan on digging that many again without a skidsteer!

Ahh, installing fences. One of those jobs that by the end of the day you'd wish you should have just hired it out, lol.

Skidsteers are not a fair comparison. Any auger will have these issues.

True, if you don't want to beat yourself up ditch the handheld augers

Ha, it did take me 3 days to dig 24. Should have rented a tractor.

If you’ve got rocks a power auger is not your friend for post holes. There isn’t a hand auger on the market that would be better in this situation.

You are correct

$500.00 for this? Wow, at that price, it should turn those rocks into powder. LOL

Is the auger seriously for sale? If so, what are you selling for?
@AlaskaWorkshop10 ай бұрын
I sold it right after I finished my fence.

How long did the battery last?
@AlaskaWorkshop Жыл бұрын
Lasted about 5 or six holes. I have a second battery so it could outlast me for sure.
