Post hole diggers are useful garden and construction equipments. As the name suggests they are used for making a structure like a fence or a deck. Earlier people used to dig holes with manual tools but now there are handheld mechanized diggers available at cost effective price.

Advantage of using a mechanized digging tool is that you can make perfect holes with the help of a mechanical instrument. It comes with a spiral blade attached to a motor that runs the blade into the ground. Your job is to keep the blade in perpendicular to your hands so that you can make holes in right angle. Once you and the spiral blade are in perpendicular, you can press the start button of the motor and allow the blade to run into the ground.

Post hole diggers are just perfect for making a few meter deep holes. If you are fencing a garden or a building, you can use this machine. Buy a petrol machine for a hassle free operation. Advantage of a petrol machine is that it never stops abruptly. On the other hand, motion of an electric device will keep fluctuating with electric supply. If the supply is erratic, you won't be able to make perfect holes.

A petrol device, on the other hand, will make the job a lot easier. It won't stop until the last drop of fuel. Keep the fuel tank full and also keep stock of fuel for refueling. This is the only precaution you need taking with this machine. Fill the fuel tank to the full before starting the digger and keep watching the fuel tank for smooth operation.

You can buy a 71cc digger at $327 from a manufacturer but a supplier will charge $600 for a similar tool. Buy it from a manufacturer and save money.
