MY GAS-POWERED EARTH AUGER REVIEW
I was out in my yard putting up fence posts. I had my trusty manual post hole diggers and all was going well. When I got to the north border of my land, something changed. The soil, about 3 inches beneath the surface turned into an impenetrable material. I got my sharp pry bar, and between the two implements, I managed to dig three holes--in one day. I was wearing leather gloves, but it literally destroyed my hands. Took me two weeks to heal! I told my wife I wanted a gas-powered auger. What she found is the NEOTEC 72CC, two stroke auger. I uncrated it and assembled it. It came with three augers. An 8-inch, a 6-inch and a 4-inch. It came with the tools to install the auger, but it also came with a container to properly mix the fuel. I did these things and on the third pull the engine roared to life.

Don’t let me lie to you, it was still work. After a couple hours I had my holes dug and it was much more efficient than the manual method and the $189 we spent on it was worth EVERY penny. Go to the attached link and purchase your own!

The throttle lock lever broke. It was plastic and looked like an injection mold malfunction. I don’t use the lock anyway.

I consider this purchase to be of sound mind. Here is the link for you to purchase on for yourself…it does not come in the configuration that I purchased it in; however, it does come with the 12” auger and an extension for just a little bit more than what my wife paid and that is a steal!
