Compact and lightweight design
fits between studs and allows users to make cuts in confined spaces
4-Position Blade Clamp allows for flush cutting
1-1/8" stroke length delivers faster cutting speed

Looking for a manual post hole auger
Have few holes to dig to put down some 3" pipe

[racedriverpro]

Do it the old fashion way and use the 3" pipe to dig the hole...but that may not be very effective since with 3" u will be just scratching the surface...keep the eye out until u have something longer

[hong kong phooey]

guessing you want a minimum size of 6 '' or 8" auger if you putting concrete in the hole also
there is a hardware in marabella almost opposite Tecu building , i believe it s the first when you coming from PAP. they have these sizes and if memory serves me right is around 300

[adnj]

Are we talking about a manual auger where you twist the T-bar handle and the head drills down or are we talking about a post hole digger which looks like two shovels pinned together?

I've never seen a manual auger for sale in Trinidad (maybe I just don't get out enough) but If it's a post hole digger, I've seen them at many hardware stores including Bhagwansingh. I believe I bought one there about 5 years ago. Post hole diggers normally come in 6" or 8" diameter. It's not a problem making a larger diameter hole.

I have rented a power auger before. If you plan on digging all of the holes in one day, it's an alternative worth considering.

the two shovels pinned together is crap .good for loose soil but difficult is soil is clay of stony . the Auger ii'm speaking is like a drill bit . it comes without the handle you need to get a piece of pipe for it as depending on your depth u will need different length of pipe . we just use 2 pipe wrench on it

[pugboy]

guess I will have to try the shovel type then
I have a hilti with very long 1 1/2" bits
will prob use those to loosen the soil first.

The augers work well for holes that are the same size as the auger. Especially if you're digging a hole that is narrow or deep. We used them to drill gate post holes where you don't want to back fill and drive the post into the ground with a post hammer. This was great for fencing cattle and horse and these holes were typically 3 or 4 feet deep.

When you dig into rocky or heavy soil using a post hole digger, just break up the soil with a digging bar, straight bar or luchette. The digging bar is like a luchette but made of steel, 5 or 6 feet long or more, weighs 15 or 20 pounds, and will break through 4 inches of concrete like a demolition hammer.

A post hole digger and a digging bar will dig a post hole faster in rocky soil than a manual auger of the same size can. But not if you have little arms.
