I bought this to dig holes to allow me to concrete in some poles to fix a sun sail/shade. I easily managed to get holes dug 700mm plus deep which should be enough to support my 4m poles. The arbour is easy to used and very strong. Holes are a little larger than 6”/150mm diameter as I had to angle the arbour you get it through/past some slate in the ground.

The product is fine until you hit stone. The metal cutter is made of quite thin metal and is easily bent. With not a huge amount of effort I managed to put a serious bend in the metal cutter. I managed to straighten it out but soon came up against the same problem when I resumed. I think if I was going into quite soft soil it would probably work, I don't know. I had to resort to small fork and trowel. Disappointed.

This auger powers through heavy soil with minimum effort. Prepares a 6" hole ready to be expanded by a drain spade or similar. Having investigated a number of examples of this tool, the Borer 7 was the best value I could find. Also easy to clean and because of the removable T bar handle, it is easier to store. Great purchase!

This is a solid large manual drill for digging fence post holes or any other 6 inch holes. I haven't used it yet due to the weather but I couldn't resist the good price. This is well made and needs to be stored lying down carefully away from any pets due to the sharp point on the end.

I purchased this to re-post some fencing and found that it works well on hard stony ground. It was also useful to break up the ground for some large holes in order to move some shrubs into another part of my garden. The handle does slide a little but being loose it will prove to be invaluable when repositioning a gate post from the wall at the side of my cottage. So, all-in-all it's a very useful tool to have.
