K78 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Has anyone took a chance on one? 3 year warranty and at least a recognisable brand, so parts should not be a issue. I cant justify a makita or stihl. Rental prices are ridiculous. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hyundai-HYEA5080-50-8cc-2-Stroke-Petrol/dp/B01AFZT0GE/ref=sr_1_1?adgrpid=57217791510&hvadid=259072895017&hvdev=t&hvlocphy=9046649&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=3097290158186040191&hvtargid=kwd-315344498113&keywords=hyundai+auger&qid=1553821457&s=gateway&sr=8-1 Edited March 29, 2019 by K78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan52 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Have you ever used one of these. They can break your wrist or arm in an instant. Although when the auger gets stuck they are great fun!! What are you going to use it for, fence posts???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The area has a lot of roots and the ground is glacial rock underneath the top soil. My arm is still vibrating from trying to dig a trench with a spade 2 yeas ago. I’m using 2m steel posts and security fencing. The type you see around schools and parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
