My post hole digger broke on a job in Austin last Tuesday
I was setting posts for a 200 foot privacy fence when my old digger just snapped at the handle. Had to borrow a neighbor's auger to finish the day, which was way faster but kept hitting rocks. Now I'm thinking about upgrading but not sure if a powered auger is worth the money. Anyone run into problems switching from manual to powered digging?

Didn't my buddy Owen break an auger bit on a rock in his first ten minutes with one?

Did your friend try a one-man auger or the two-handle kind? My buddy borrowed a power auger for his fence and hit a rock so hard it threw him backward into his own pile of dirt. That thing was powerful but he spent the whole day cussing at limestone instead of digging.
