## Description

Seymour Mfg. AU-S6 Post Hole Auger : desertcart.in: Garden & Outdoors

Review: One the best tools I ever purchased. We redid a fence and dug about 30 holes with the Auger. Each hole went down to about 3.8-3.9 feet...right until the handle touches the ground, therefor almost right on the 4foot mark(frost line). The diameter of the holes was perfect for a 10 foot 4x4 post and that left enough room for 1.5 to max 2 bags of Concrete(30Kg each). The auger is high quality and it makes digging a breeze, plus the price vs the rent of a gas power auger is perfect. The only thing you need to take care of are: roots, rocks, bricks and old concrete that we found when we were digging...but as long as you have a crowbar(to get the rocks,bricks out) and a saw to cut the roots...you won't be stopped by any type of soil. Best investment ever, plus a very good workout.
Review: An amazing tool. I am 59 years old and walk with a quad cane or walker due to a bad left leg. I dug a perfect 18-inch deep hole in about five minutes and that's because I was going slowly and cautiously. No mess at all. I had a plastic bag next to the hole, the auger held the dirt securely as I pulled it up, and I just shook it out into bag. One thing: It comes with a nice 21-inch wood handle that fits nice and tight. However, I needed to dig the hole within five inches of the fence. So I got a slightly thinner wood dowel from Home Depot (1-11/16 in. dia.) of the same length that I could pull through, and shorten either side as I came up against the fence when turning it, and used that as the handle. Worked great. Seriously, folks. If you need to dig a post hole, or a well for that matter, this is the tool for you. Don't waste your time with, and your money, on a pick, spade and clamshell.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this only cut 6" diameter holes?  Seems like that wouldn't be enough for a 4"x4" fence post where 10" diameter holes are the norm. 
Thanks for all the answers, I found this company makes an adjustable version with 6", 7" and 8" settings, which'll get me close to the old fencing rule "post hole diameter should be …**
A: The hole ends up about 8". You can get 8" and 10" blades. I have dug many, many holes for 4X4 posts 3' deep including putting quikrete in some  I have never known the need for 10" diameter holes for fences.

**Q: how do you extend the auger coupler/?**
A: I dug a 30' shallow well with the auger.  You ideally would use stainless steel 3/4 inch couplers and 10' galvanized pipe additions.  Don't use too many couplers as you might break the pipe or coupler as you bring it up to empty it.  I broke one and had to replace the pipe once in my 30' digging.  Hope that assures you.  It looks like there are a couple of ways to go, as stated by others.

**Q: what is the diameter size hole that this digs?**
A: In the description: Blade size: 6".  It will dig a 6" diameter round hole as you turn it while pushing down.  When the auger fills, you pull it up and dump it, start again.  It works quite well unless you have ground full of large rocks.

**Q: Can it penetrate roots up to a certain diameter?**
A: It can cut small roots but I haven't had it encounter larger roots. Most of the ones I had were 1/4 " across or smaller. I had gravelly soil and it worked great for me the times I used it.

*by G***K on 2 April 2023*

Let me start by saying I am a 56 year old, 5'4" woman and our property has a lot of clay and rocks. So far I have dug out 5 holes to 42 deep each. The first three were a breeze, this carves through clay like a hot knife through butter. The last two I hit some large roots. This thing will cut small roots, but not 1" or more in diameter. Using other tools to deal with large roots. One thing to note is that rather than installing the handle, I put it in part way so that I could easily remove it. I bought a 1 1/4" x 36" hardwood dowel from Lowes and used it when I needed more leverage to dislodge rocks or cut small roots. It worked great. I highly recommend auger, it seems very well made and does its job.
