40V HP Brushless 8" Auger with 4.0 Ah Battery and Charger
40V HP BRUSHLESS 8" EARTH AUGER KIT is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 394.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy for one person use I bought this several months ago for use on my property. I used it to set 4x4 posts in hard clay 3ft deep. The auger made quick work of the 24 holes that needed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works better than expected I'm was hesitant that this would actually work in the hard soil of Colorado. It did a great job. It is lightweight and works every time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powerful auger! I have this auger---uses same battery as my chainsaw (sweet)... This works really well---has tons of power---more than enough for regular boring of holes. Any more power would be dangerous for your arms if / when it hits a rock or root. That will always happen. I love the reverse switch---easy to get out of the ground. I made an extension to go deeper----works great, but gets really heavy if there's mud. I love that this is electric---NOT GAS. Gas engines are loud and sometimes hard to start, which could ruin your afternoon!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Way better than gas powered The anti kickback is a lifesaver. It is way easier and safer than similar gas powered units

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to operate! Just bought the auger and I already love it. I was able to dig a post hole on low speed with no problem. I can’t wait to finish putting up my fence without pulling on a string just to get an auger started. With this auger it is very simple to operate with the push button on the handle. I would definitely recommend this auger to anyone looking for one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than gas I really like my auger. It is heavy enough so it doesn't jump around. It stops if it hits a big rock so just go into reverse and it comes right out.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Solid Tool for smaller projects The Earth Auger works great for small projects around the property. I used it to install 3 4x4 poles set into 8in concrete tubes for mounting Bat Boxes. The clay would cause the Auger to catch and stop more than I wanted but the anti-kick feature prevented any issues. The power of the tool was okay, its not par with a gas one, so if you plan on doing a full fence or lots of holes in one day I would recommend a Gas Auger or doing it over a few days with this electric one. It was easy to handle and move around.
