## Questions & Answers

**Q: Were you able to dig post holes with this tool alone or did you need other tools to go with it e.g. small spade, post hole grabbers or auger etc.?**
A: No, this was used alongside a Roughneck 68250 Post Hole digger which makes light work of the soil and the Roughneck 64549 Posthole Digger easily chops through roots and levers out rocks etc. My advice is if you have several holes to dig....get both and you'll be finished in no time. But don't tell your neighbours, or like me, you'll rarely see the 2 items again!

**Q: How wide is the chisel blade**
A: Hi, it's a 6cm wide blade. Good solid tool. Don't be fooled by the picture, the tool comes as a single item and is 174cm long. Hope that answers your question.

**Q: Can you hit the flat end with a lump hammer or will that damage it?**
A: Not sure why you might want to given that the digging bar weighs 17 lbs? You use the weight of it to chop your way through roots, heavy stony ground etc. The only occasion you might wack it with a lump hammer might be if you got it stuck and then it might help free it. It might damage the top I suppose but by that time you'll be cursing yourself for getting it stuck and won't care!!

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant tool
*by H***3 on 18 October 2020*

If you're putting in posts or digging realtively narrow holes, this is the tool. I've got a post hole digger, pick axe, mattock, spades, etc but this is just so good at breaking up the soil and stones to allow you to loft them out with the post hole digger - reduced my times to about a third of previous (yes very stoney soil). Then, opposite end, great for tamping down around posts - allows you to tamp right from the bottom of the pole - big difference. Its solid, heavy, and well made.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good strong robust product
*by O***5 on 3 February 2018*

Good strong robust product. I was looking for something a little lighter but couldn't find anything suitable.This however does the job well

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes root cutting easy
*by E***X on 2 March 2016*

Most impressive tool I've yet purchased, makes digging post holes around existing trees and hedges a LOT easier. Can't fault, well built, solid and heavy but not too heavy. Can't recomment enough. The compactor at the other end works well. This is a well thought out product.
