This review is from: Yard Butler RD-2 30-Inch Roto Digger (Lawn & Patio)

I purchased the Yard Butler Roto Digger 30-Inch Long 1.75-Inch Diameter #RD-2 to use it for something it was not meant to be used for. I'm building a pool house and the location of the front door has changed. I had to crawl under the pool house and dig 2 holes that needed to be 8"X8"24" deep. This needed to be done in a 2 foot tall work area. My plan was to use the Roto Digger. I ended up using something else but the Roto Digger was tough. Held together dig after dig in red clay type soil. I'd recommend this product and plan on using it again when I start planting bulbs.

This a great back saver. The extra length is perfect. I have planted using short augers and have suffered before. It seems to be sturdy and should last a long time.

Very satisfied and glad we got it..........would like to see them put a hex top on it so it doesn't slip in the chuck when we hit rocks (our ground is loaded with rocks).
