Overview
Digging round post holes is the job for this Ames digger, which uses a razor-back Hercules pattern blade and tubular steel handles. The copy names the hole size and blade length.
Long steel handles and a razor-back blade suit fence and deck post work in ordinary soil. The listing does not rate it for rocky ground and gives no weight or handle detail beyond tubular steel.
Who it's for
People whose posts suit the listed hole size will find the dimensions match. Buyers with wider posts or stony soil should check the blade size and ground first.
Pros and cons
- Razor-back blade for cutting soil
- Long tubular steel handles
- Hercules pattern blade
- Clear hole size stated
- Steel handles conduct electricity
- Blade width not listed
- Weight not listed
- Rocky soil rating not given
Performance notes
The blade pattern cuts and lifts soil as the handles are spread, and the handle length sets how deep a hole can be reached. Steel tubes add strength but also weight. Soil and roots matter most.
