Post hole diggers

[phil123]

Hi guys bit of a random one,

 

I'm after getting a set of post hole diggers/spades for some up and coming fencing work.

Theres loads out there but none of the seem to be 'pro' quality.

 

If I buy a tool I want it to last me years, so what are you chaps using or what make would you recomend?

 

Thanks in advance,

sorry if this seems a stupid question:confused1:.

Phil.

I have these:

 

Heavy Duty Fencing Post Hole Digger Crossover Spade Fence Tool | eBay

 

I beefed up the weld between the spade and the handles, as I thought this was a weak point.

 

Had them about 10 years now, with no problems.

Bought a fibre glass handled pair from Screwfix for about £30 and can't complain had them a few years now and there still digging holes

Got a set of faithful ones and have lasted me a very long time and not bad priced !

Verve Post Hole Digger | Departments | DIY at B&Q

 

We've used these, tips wear out eventually but at £25.....

Roughneck do them and they look strong enough

rough neck ones are pretty good, used to last 3 years of daily use

Whichever brand you choose, make sure they are the sort you push inwards to close rather than pulling out as they are much easier to use.

Post hole diggers are a lot of hard work. Would it not pay to hire one of these?

That looks great but I'm bloody jinxed when I'm digging holes.

Would it neatly pile up all the met-posts, concrete, bricks, tree roots, angle iron and membrane on the spoil heap?
