Overview
True Temper pairs Atlas pattern steel blades with long fiberglass handles on this post hole digger. A ruler built into the handle shows depth, and a cushion end grip adds comfort.
The built-in ruler takes the guesswork out of hole depth for fence and deck posts. The copy describes the blades as sharp-pointed and round, but gives no hole width or weight.
Who it's for
Homeowners and builders setting deck and fence posts or footings get a depth guide with the tool. Anyone who needs a particular blade width should check before ordering.

Performance notes
Atlas pattern blades have a sharp point to start in soil, and the round shape makes a clean hole. The handle ruler shows depth as you dig. Fiberglass resists weather and does not conduct.
