RoughneckROU68265 Post Hole Digger - Dual-Pivot 1.5m/59"

My experience of using this brings me to view it as a help in clearing earth from holes opened by another method.Strength is needed in using.The bolts on it need ongoing viewing to ensure they remain in place.A lot of effort is needed to make a hole with this compared with other Augers.Generally, it is not the first tool reached for, for post hole making.T S Hamilton

Excellent buy

Mir waren die günstigeren Doppelspaten mit Holzgriff alle zu instabil. Dieses Teil ist sauschwer, hat eine solide Qualität und lässt sich wunderbar einsetzen.Dieser Doppelspaten ist jeden Euro wert!Ich bin begeistert.

Well made good all round and easy to use.

I run an engineering company and my site engineers use post hole diggers on a daily basis. I've previously been buying the slightly cheaper roughneck model  Roughneck 68250 Post Hole Digger - Hercules Pattern  but my engineers seem to break them every few months. I wasn't aware that they made a heavy duty version like these and they're much much better and definitely worth the extra money if you use them regularly and want them to last. The double hinge mechanism also means you can dig much deeper narrow diameter holes as you don't need the wider diameter to be able to close the spade heads together thanks to the extra hinge.UPDATE 25/02/2019 - I've dropped the rating to 1* now as 3 out of 4 sets have broken, all have broken at the same place so it's either a manufacturing defect OR it's a design faulty. I'm waiting to hear back from Olympia Tools who make Roughneck products to make a claim on their 25 year warranty. Roughneck 68250 Post Hole Digger - Hercules Pattern
