JCB Professional 4" 100mm Fence Post Auger, Heavy Duty Tubular Steel, 100 x 250 mm Blade - T-Grip 500 mm Width - Top-Level Performance - Lifetime Warranty

Utilisation regulière à la place de ma tarière thermique.. Très satisfaite du produit car moins lourde à manœuvrer.

High quality and does the job.

Bought one of these nearly 18months ago. And it has been worth its weight in gold. Its large and heavy but manageable by a single person and I have used it to a depth of 2.5/3ft. It gets through very compacted ground and handles stones well. 10/10. I've used to for fence posts, checking drainage in compacted soil, breaking soil up, making holes for foundations and planting trees and bushes. Never thought we'd find so much use for it. Only wish there was a smaller version as well to make narrower holes

I have used this auger to easily and successfully create a series of post holes in a sandy soil sitting over a layer of stones. The auger itself is quite robust and not so heavy that it is tiring to lift. It can be operated without the handle in some situations - this makes it quick and easy to create holes for planting etc. For deeper holes adding the handle makes it easier to turn the auger but it can be a problem if you are working up against an existing fence line. Overall this has proven to be a reliable and useful tool and has saved considerable time and effort. I would definitely not want to go back to digging holes without it and so for me it has proven to be well worth its asking price.

We used this to dig deep holes for poles that would support a shed that's exposed to wind. The auger was ideal for this, making it possible to dig holes that were neat and not too much larger than the post diameter. We used a trowel and small tub to assist clearing out the soil that did not come up with the auger. When you took your time with it, turning it to dig a small bit, then pulling it back up, it brought up quite a lot of soil with it, so there was not too much excess. We also used a narrow shovel in some sections, especially to help get past the bigger stones that blocked the auger. Overall, a useful bit of kit and makes digging pole holes much much easier - much easier than just with a shovel. This one felt sturdy and felt easy to use, and gets the hole started / deeper with the shovel working well as an accessory. It was much harder to start digging with the shovel alone. I can recommend this auger.
