Tony K Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) Afternoon. I have a decent electric paddle mixer, and am wondering if I can use it to dig post holes. I have seen a number of these type of auger bits available.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Makita-E-07319-Earth-Auger-bit/dp/B08PDMXYWL/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=earth+auger+bit&qid=1647357229&refinements=p_76%3A419158031&rnid=419157031&rps=1&s=diy&sprefix=earth+aug%2Cdiy%2C119&sr=1-3 ...but cannot establish whether they will connect to the mixer. Anyone ever tried this before?! Edited March 15, 2022 by Tony K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilly Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I've used the two person petrol auger type thing. The small person (me) can get flung aside by roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I've used this type in the past single handed. Best way is probably to find a mini digger and push in pointed fence posts with the bucket. Two man job but quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
