I needed something to dig down approximately 30 feet. This auger was perfect. the handle can be extended with 3/4 inch pipe and couplings. It got rather heavy lifting the auger out as I dug deeper, but it was doable. It took approximately three hours to dig down 22 feet. I hit water at 16 feet so I stopped at 22. I will use a 4" PVC pipe for a well casing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like a champ, April 20, 2009

I've just punched a couple of holes with this, but it cuts like a champ. I felt it when it hit the clay hardpan layer and thought I was just into the normal red clay since it went through it rather easily. I was shocked when I actually looked at some of the clay, it wasn't the plain red, it was the brick quality clay we have in pockets around here. Now I'm really impressed. Cannot tell about how much sharpening it will need, but I expect it will. Also haven't tried it with extension pipe on it yet.

This is the best post hole digger ever. It actually makes the process fun. I find it much easier than the scissor action of a regular post hole digger. I had used one to help my sister build a garden trellis. My cousin had lent us an ancient Seymour auger. It made the hole digging so much fun I had to purchase one for myself.
I am a 60 year old female, so if I can do it anyone can.
