Editorial Product Review:Amazon.com Item Description:The Fiskars post hole digger features a unique handle profile that prevents you from banging your knuckles together when digging holes. The offset handles allow you to dig a full foot deeper than standard post hole diggers (up to 4-feet deep), while its all-steel construction lets you tackle the tough jobs. Pre-sharpened to cut through the ground easier, the unit's blades are welded directly to the shaft for additional strength, and the entire tool is powder-coated to prevent rust.

Great for deep holes!
I couldn't seem to dig past about 30" with traditional post-hole diggers, but with this tool can easily go about four feet deep. It's a great design and very well-built, and made my project possible.

Good accessory
I am presently using three post hole diggers for a large deck project. This is a useful tool but don't throw out the cheapo wooden handled digger. For the shallower dirt I use the wooden handled tool mainly because it is lighter which I think is the most important consideration. You expend most of your energy pulling the tool out of the hole and if it is heavy, you'll wear out quick. None of the tools pull out more than a few handfuls at a time. The narrow blade of the Fiskar is great for shaving the sides of the hole and creating ledges. The hinges however are further from the cutting edges causing them to come together more parallel; because of this, loose loads tend to slip from the jaws more as you are pulling it out.

Best Diggers
These post hole diggers are the best I have used. The design at the pivot is unique and very functional. The stance of the blades is wide and the blades are tough, I mean tough! Like all Fiskars shovels, these are heavy steel construction. Yes its true, no knuckle busting. I went as deep as I wanted and did not have to widen the hole at the top. The only drawback was the orange grips slipped a little. I do not see this as a problem, an adhesive of some sort should solve it. I can not stress the quality of this product enough. A good strong tool.

Best Post Hole Digger Ever
Lightweight and easy to use. Will dig a deeper hole in less time than a conventional digger. This will make a slightly larger diameter hole than a conventional digger, so you will need a bit more concrete for fill. It's almost impossible to bang your knuckles together when using this. The all-steel construction is very sturdy, I expect this to last for years. Wood or fiberglass handles usually break or separate from the digging head after only a few uses. The only drawback is the signature orange handles slip off when lifting a load of soil. I recommend gluing them on.
