PROYAMA 54cc Post Hole Digger Gas Powered 2 Cycle Earth Auger, 5-Year Warranty Gear Box, 4 Drill Bits 4" 6" 8" 12" + Extension Rod 12" 20"

Works well and fuel efficiency was better than expected. If you have rocky ground beware it will snag and rip out of your hands. Use was easy and it’s not all that heavy. For what I used it for, it was worth the price versus renting one.

Excellent power. Started right up in 20 degree weather and ripped through the frozen ground(digging deck footings 3’ deep). Ground was frozen for about 7 inches and went through with little to no problem. Using the 12” as well. Love that it has different options for size holes and the extension bars. Completely worth it

Starts right up and has plenty of power.if you hit a root you’ll know it.it will give you a pretty good kick. I drilled 5 12” holes and it worked great.the only problem I had was the third time I hit the kill switch it didn’t work. I just used the choke lever to shut it off. I might contact the seller but it’s not that big a deal but it’s just the point that it’s new and it shouldn’t have broken that quick.

I used to use post hole diggers almost every week when I built decks for a living 35 years ago. I used a two man digger and it was still miserable every time we hit a rock. I rented them because purchasing one was so expensive. This digger is much smaller than the ones I used to use and a small fraction of the price. I was skeptical that it could do the job, but figured I would try as it was less than a few days of rental. I am a big guy (about 290lbs) and it sent me flying as it hit rocks. That sounds bad, but it a question of physics - is it easier for the digger to go through rock or throw me across the lawn. I was tossed across the lawn. It has plenty of power. After feeling like I was breaking my wrist a few times, I found the best method was to use the throttle to ease downward and feel the rocks as I went pulling up to clear the hole of dirt often. I would adjust the direction and position the bit to knock the rock loose. Once I got the knack of the digger, I found it was easy to control and its light weight was a feature not a flaw. I could pull it out of the hole quickly which pulled a lot of dirt out. Sometimes the best option is to set the digger aside and pull rocks out by hand, but I also used a wet/dry shop vac and pressure washer to clear the hole and dig when I was near our propane line. That method make a mud pit around the hole and is no fun. However, the combination of digger, shop vac, pressure washer, and hand tools made the job of many post holes for a fence reasonable for one over weight soon to be senior citizen. My unit starts easily, but I am used to two cycle engines. It uses the same fuel mix as my Stihl equipment (50:1) so it was easy to keep fueled. In fact, I did my whole fencing project and didn't need to refuel once. So far it has worked for me and was already a bargain over renting the equipment for a few days to do the immediate job. Now I have a digger for other projects.

a real piece of JUNK . I cannot use it because it will not start. I tried to return it but found out that it is a non-returnable item ( if I had known that I would have not ordered it ----- and that should have been my first clue that i was about to throw away about 280.00 dollars on a worthless piece of JUNK ) shame on me. I gave it a 1-star rating only because there are no choices below a 1-star rating.

The auger arrived quickly and packaged in a double cardboard box. Seemed to be adequate and everything inside was perfect. Assembly is just attaching the bit you want to use. Other than that, its ready to go. Just add fuel. Unit fired right up. I dug 2 holes so far with the 12" bit. This thing is powerful! Hang on tight or your going for a ride! This auger is going to make my pole building so much easier! The quality is good and the Auger is easy to use! This beats the ol poast hole digger by far!

purchased this so i wouldn't have to hand dig all my holes for a fence project. I am in sand and its not terrible to dig them by hand but this thing does it in a fraction of the time and is saving my back. Its light enough to easily handle, powerful enough to cut through smaller roots and started quickly right out of the box. It also comes with more than enough auger sizes and extensions which was nice since i am using 3 different pipe sizes. It will dig a 12" hole, 3.5 feet deep in less than a minute. Not sure what it would do in hard clay but for my location its absolutely amazing. i am about 1/4 of the way through my holes and it is holding up beautifully.

weak engine

I needed to do 18 test holes in various spots on property in central Ontario Canada. Everything was in the box and easy to unpack and setup. Machine started 2nd pull out of the box and runs flawlessly. From tree roots to rocky soil the auger pushed through it all. I used to rent these when needed not anymore after finally buying this one. The machine is light but very strong, the throttle trigger is sensitive enough that you can properly manage the dig without breaking your wrists! It has a lot of power and after the 18 holes completed I am convinced this was worth the buy, it has all the accessories, runs great and easy to use.

Hard working machine with lots of power. Bits are easy to put on and off. My soil is hard so I start with small bit and then enlarge the holes with bigger bits. Starts easy and runs great. The negative would be the plastic cover that I hit with the pull rope and was replaced promptly. Great customer service. Good value, good power, good machine overall and good customer service.

We used this for a planting project and installed around 500 plants with it. It digs holes really well, but the handles are light and ended up breaking welds. Also check the screws on it to ensure they are tight as a few came lose while drilling. Over all it is a good quality drill for light use.

The post digger arrived early.started right up out of the box.yesterdsy was the first time I used the post digger.wow so easy to use it drilled 2 holes I needed in a matter of minutes instead manually digging for hrs. This is going to save me so much time and money.great price.i highly recommend this product.Thank you!

It is a lit difficult to control when dig a 30" hole
