Overview
Seymour built this digger with carbon steel blades riveted to forged yokes and a yellow nonconductive fiberglass handle. Cushion grips and double-bolted handles aim to ease the work of digging post holes.
Replaceable blades and a nonconductive handle make it a long-term tool for fence work near power lines. The seller copy describes it as homeowner grade in one place and heavy-duty in another, and blade width is not given.
Who it's for
Farm and property owners who dig post holes in ordinary soil get a tool with a replaceable edge here. Buyers wanting a clearly rated light-duty homeowner tool, or a listed hole size, should check further.
Pros and cons
- Fiberglass handle is nonconductive
- Blades are replaceable
- Cushion grips for comfort
- Triple-riveted blade attachment
- Duty rating is described inconsistently
- Blade width not listed
- Handle length conflicts with overall length
- Weight not listed
Performance notes
Sharp edges bite the soil, and the yoke and rivets carry the force when you drive and spread the handles. A fiberglass handle resists impact and does not conduct. Soil type and rocks decide how hard the work is.
