Post Hole Digger Digs 6-In Dia. Hole All The Way FENCING Tools 6-3-34 Just a slight change in the configuration of the handles of one of the oldest pieces of farm machinery ù the post hole digger ù has resulted in a handy new tool that can dig a 6-in. hole straight down to a depth of 42 in.
"We construct fence and found that even if we used an auger or other sophisticated equipment to dig holes, we always had to use a hand digger to start or finish the job. The problem was that there was no digger on the market that could dig a 6-in. hole past the depth of 24 in. Since most holes are dug 36 in., we had to widen out the top of the hole in order to clean it out," explains Scott Weiland, of "Can Do" Diggers, the manufacturer in Highland, Mich.
To solve the problem, the company made handles that cross in a "double crossover" design and will thus reach deep into a hole without exceeding a narrow 6-in. width.
Made of steel with wooden handles, the new heavy-duty professional digger weighs about 13 lbs. It sells for $75. A lighter weight model,with a reach of 40 in. and designed for "ordinary" use, sells for $34.95, postpaid.
