Hyundai Auger

[K78]

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.

Yep got one

 

i replaced the one I’d had for years 

It was like replacing a mini with a ferrari 

One thing I would say though is You need two people to operate

I worry about replacement parts for makes I’m not familiar with. 

 

The Hyundai has a 3 year warranty too

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????

I want to secure one side of my plot before my build starts. 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.
