DC HOUSE 63cc Gas Powered Auger Post Hole Digger, with 2 Earth Auger Drill Bits 6" 10" and 3 Extension Rods 8" 12" 20", for Farmland Garden and Planting

This was a great value. Fairly light, started up after just a few pulls, control lever is good at controlling torque. At about 50% throttle it's good for digging through clay and stopping when you hit a big rock. At 100% it'll twist you around. More horsepower than you need for the spacing of the handles. I'd say it's better than the 1 man auger from my local rental place and probably close to the same power as the 2 man auger. Hopefully I get a lot of hours out of this.

I bought this digger to help me drill holes for the fruit trees I bought. The soil here in Houston, Texas, is mostly heavy clay. This machine worked well and was easy to use. Don't forget to call 811 Dig Alert before you start. I had Gas, Power, and Com lines running through the area I wanted to dig...

I was pleasantly surprised with this post hole digger. It went together easily. Added fuel and it started up right away…. Used the 6” auger for some fence posts. The holes we dug were 2” deep. It did it with ease.Something to note is that the ground was a bit soft from wet weather a week before. But I had used a hand digger on 6 post the day before I used this one and it took me most of a day. With this new gas powered digger, in 3 hours I dug 13 holes.Remember though that it is not a mirical worker…. I hit rock in two different locations. It will not dig through rock! Also if the hole has rock in it, you need to move carefully as to not get the Uber stuck.

This auger is amazing it cut my time down from using a post hole digger and has plenty of power and is lightweight

Read some of the negative reviews but this has performed perfectly for my deck and fence projects. The soil was clay with some stones and roots. Definitely need to use caution when operating when roots or stone are present.

I rarely ever take the time to leave a review but I want to help other people avoid what I am currently going through…I purchased this auger to drill a 1 maybe 2 holes to replace any broken fence posts. The machine worked for about half a hole. Then it stopped rotating. But hey I get it sometimes you get defective parts or even stuff breaks! No big deal. Well I issue the return to the sender, box everything up and print the label. Shortly after I received and email from the seller to give them more information on the condition of the machine. I submitted a brief description, they requested I submit photos, I stated to them that o could but the damage would be inside the clutch or gearbox. They still wanted photos of the machine. I inbox the machine and submit photos. The next day their “tech” department responded that I need to disassemble the machine and perform a clutch inspection. This requires short hex keys or stubby hex sockets. I don’t own the proper tools. I literally purchased the machine owned it in my possession for 4 days and it’s broke! At this point I want my money back from this seller and I will purchase another auger from a different seller.

I used this Auger for 10 holes since I bought in early July 2023. Now today the draw cord will not retract. In trying to fix, the spring coil came apart. Apparently, the inside hook of the spring coil loses traction with its plastic housing. After pulling the pull cord, the hook loses it's grip with the inside slot on the plastic cap. Overtime then the pull cord will not retract and then the plastic housing gets "frozen" in place. To fix, you have to take apart and rebend the inside hook on the spring coil. Unfortunately, this means you have to "recoil" the spring coil and that can be tough to do. I think this particular setup is very poor and considering the cost of the Auger, the manufacturer needs a serious robust redesign. So my warning is to just beware and if anyone else had this problem then please post. That said, the Auger worked well and I liked the various Auger attachments and sped my project up greatly. But from the get go, this pull cord was very tough to pull but I managed by using short even pulls without jerking or over torquing the pull.I give the Auger itself 5 stars for use, manuverability in small spaces, excellent digging power and nice versatility. But the pull cord is it's weak link and without it the Auger becomes useless. So that said, I will give an overall 3 stars. If the pull cord was robust and easy to pull them I would give 5 stars because it did a great job digging 10 holes 24 inches deep by 24 inches wide for cement footings.
