Earthquake E43 1-Person Earth Auger Powerhead, 43cc 2-Cycle Viper Engine, 30:1 Transmission, 5 Year Limited Warranty, Red or Black Auger Bit

very useful, I can advance my work a little faster

Run very good, just be careful if you run into a rock it’s very powerful

This is a good earth auger, well built, starts easy, handles nice for one person; control (plastic throttle lever) seems a little light duty, but has worked fine so far. Putting in a chain link fence; drilling 8" corner holes and 6" inline holes. Works great. Has difficulty with heavy packed clay but would drill it if I kept plunging into it. I am over 70 so easer to just use post hole digger for the last few inches. Would be nice to have a bubble level on the top to get holes more plumb - especially when drilling on a slight slope as slopes are deceptive to get a plumb hole. Will try to glue a bubble level on the top. Putting in a cattle fence next, so I will try digging with a 12" bit. May try drilling with the 8" bit then take it bigger with the 12" as I anticipate difficulty using the 12" bit in this heavy clay as it will probably over load the power head. Tried using the extension but to much resistance in the clay soil.

Easy to start and assemble. 5 stars in clay or light shale soil types. Rocky soil, not so good. Good power as well. In soil that is not full of rocks you can power down 30" in less than a minute. Good value for the money.

Great tool for the price. Very sturdy. We were just planting small shrubs, if you're going to plant something over 5 gallon pot I might get the next up.

i love this thing,it augers holes like a mole on crack,it put in 10 holes with a ten inch auger in under 30 minutes at 2.5 foot deep,it only took that long because it was wearing my arms out holding onto this thing i bet a really strong man could have had them in in ten minutes flat.i will warn you though,if you hit a big root or a big rock,this thing will flip you over end over end or rip your arms out of the sockets ,its a brute and it rocks,wish i had to auger a bunch more holes because i love this thing.

Great for breaking up the ground for a new garden instead of a rototiller... Along with drilling post holes

Max 36" depth without an extension. Bought this to help install a fence, digs 36" post hole in about a minute. No issues digging in the sandy soil with some clay here. It will cut thru small roots, larger ones will stop it, and you'll have to cut them. Heavy wet clay soil can stop it as well. Rocky soil will slow it, if rocks are heavy you may have to stop and break them up. Easy to use, let it do the work. Added gas and it started right up no problem runs great.
