Earthquake's 1-Person Earth Auger is tough, yet lightweight making it ideal for the occasional project around the house, farm or ranch. The included 8" diameter, 36" long auger bit makes drilling easy for tasks such as building decks, installing fences, mailbox installations, planting trees and many other outdoor projects. A 43cc, 2-cycle Viper engine provides plenty of power to conquer all types of soils and clay and a rugged transmission contains long-lasting ball bearings and hardened steel gears that will withstand years of abuse. Welded steel handlebars hold up to the rigors of the job while comfortable foam grips reduce vibration and let you work all day with ease. Start your holes with ease thanks to the earth auger bit's specially designed fishtail point and pilot plate which help avoid slippage. A Flex-Coil Shock Absorber reduces upper-body impact when encountering a stubborn rock or root and a replaceable AR400 steel blade is extremely abrasion resistant and holds up in the toughest soils and clay. When extra deep holes are needed, optional 12" and 18" Earth Auger Bit Extensions are available. Backed by an industry leading 5-Year Limited Powerhead Warranty and a 1-Year Limited Auger Bit warranty and a U.S.-based customer support team the E43 Earth Auger Combo will perform for years to come.5-Year Limited

Life saving Auger

a year ago
Outstanding addition to my tool chest. Being 71 years old I needed something to aid in installing my fence post. It is very easy to operate. This post hole auger has been a blessing. It performed as expected. I didn’t want to spend the money but glad I did. I would highly recommend this auger.
