If you're thinking of installing the deck of your dreams, you may need to dig deep holes into accommodating your deck posts as well as the concrete footing surrounding them. To accomplish this DIY project, you will need a post hole digger. At Jono and Johno, we can help you with this! Our wide range of post hole diggers, post hole digger spare parts, and post hole digger drill bits, can help you build the deck of your dreams. Apart from using a post hole digger auger to build a deck, you can also use it for various projects. From preparing to put up a birdhouse, planting a new tree in your backyard, or digging a deep hole to prepare for a fence or even electric fence, a post hole digger will come in handy.
But what exactly do post hole diggers do? A post hole digger is equipment used to dig or bore out deep holes suitable for placing posts in the ground. But this device is more than just for posts. They can also be a useful tool for removing dirt on somewhat hardened soil for planting and amending. It can also be used to create larger-sized holes and single post holes. You can also use it to start trenches for irrigation channels and other similar deep digging tasks.
Petrol post hole diggers are perfect for rocky soils and digging large holes. These are essentially handheld drills that can be very useful in various projects. They can easily dig through even the hardest-packed clay. If you need to drill post holes for your 50-foot fence, the job will be a breeze.
Without having a decent motor, a petrol post hole digger won't be able to do precisely what you want it to do. It is a better option to use 2 to 2.5 horsepower motors with enough power to ensure that the task is done. It is not recommended to purchase gas post hole diggers that are low-powered.
The bladed bit or the auger attached to the motor should be made from high-carbon steel. Any other material can be a liability as it could snap and cause you damage or your equipment if it hits something solid. Most petrol-powered post hole diggers have interchangeable augers available in various sizes ranging from 2" through 10-12" diameter, depending on the size of the hole you're supposed to dig.
You should also purchase one that has extremely sturdy handles. This is because you are going to hold on tightly to them when you control the equipment. If you plan to use your post hole digger for a long period or need to dig multiple holes, you may want to consider handles with anti-vibration padding. This type of handle can reduce the level of vibration your arms and upper torso will receive, allowing you to work longer.
Another factor that you should consider is the weight of your post hole digger. The lightest option can be handy for one person use, but if you dig in a more difficult soil condition or uneven terrain, you may need a second person to help you control the digger.
