Great purchase!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I decided to purchase this vs a gas powered auger, I am pleased with the purchase. I was able to dig 24 holes with a single battery charge(low setting), my soil consisted of dirt, sand, with a little clay and rock.
This was a great purchase and the fact that this auger can operate on its side with no fuel issues was another great selling point. It has a reverse feature that other gas powered augers do not offer and a high and low setting.
Made this project a breeze. Thanks RYOBI!!

Opens up a hole new world of possibilities.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm 41 years old, going on 85. Always pulling muscles, wearing out ligaments, etc. I fear and avoid the manual post hole digger. But this auger changed my life. It is an absolute beast. Drills holes in the ground like Bruce Willis did on that asteroid. In one weekend I sunk 6 posts, and planted 16 privacy trees. Don't be intimidated because it's battery electric powered. You'll be shocked by how powerful and efficient it is.

Time saver
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the auger to install 4 - 4x4 post to enclose my pool equipment. I also bought the 6” auger bit . (The kit comes with a 8” bit )
The 6” is perfect for 4x4’s. Went down 14” . Each hole took about a minute to drill. What a time saver!

will it do the job?
Bought this a month ago and left it in the box in garage. I was convinced it wouldn't work. With one day left to return it I gave it a try. 27 30 inch deep holes later, it's a keeper! And I had one bar left on the battery. Very impressive. Also, the anti kickback works great. On most holes if it hit rocks I could back it out a bit then spin it with light pressure and loosen the rocks up enough to grab and remove them.Great tool!

Very POWERFUL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well I was optimistic to begin with on this product before I purchased it I am very pleased with his performance. The only downside is when used in sand it’s almost too powerful it sunk straight down in the ground the first time I used it. That was on low speed.

Way more than what I expected!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was extremely surprised by this machine. I had to drill 20 - 6” round fence post for my garden I figuredI I could drill at least 5 holes with the batter that came with it. To my surprise I drilled all 20 on 1 charge over the course of 2 days. I used it on low speed to drill, high speed to sling off soil and one of the best feature reverse if I hit a root. I was going to buy a gas powered auger but did not want the extra fuel tank around. The soil was mostly topsoil and clay. I used gas powered ones before but this has more power and easier to use!!!!

Better than Gas!
I am a pro, and I was tired of renting gas powered augers. I also do not have the luxury of wasting time with fickle small gas engines that aren't used every day. This thing hit the mark dead on! It is very quiet, powerful, and efficient with both your time and with energy. A major benefit beyond the lack of noise is the lack of exhaust fumes! It goes through clay, small rocks, and small roots easily. My only (small) gripe was price, but it has proven itself well worth it. Buy it & Love it!!!

Everything you wanted and then some.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing auger, it was very quiet compared to gas, and super powerful. It ripped through roots that were about 1-1/2 inch thick. The low amount of noise let me start at 7 a.m. and not worry about waking anyone up.
I was doing a custom wood fence. It needed 26 posts. It was supposed to be 6ft tall. So I made the holes 2 feet deep with an eight inch diameter bit. I had 3 batteries with me, two were fully charged and one was at 75%. I used up two and a half batteries for all 26 holes (I even went back through the holes to help clean out dirt).

Lives up to the Hype!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I install egress window / well systems and was looking for a tool to help me reach the perimeter drains of a home from inside the egress well. This did just the trick and allowed me to complete the project by myself in less than 2 minutes. As a contractor I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and performance of this tool.
The soil was hard clay and rocky and the 8" auger ripped right through it.
Outstanding product. Highly recommend.

gave me a used tool
shame on you for repacking a tool that's been returned. who knows what was done or why it was returned but it's shameful of you to try to pass it off to the next man. I opened up the box and the tool is dirty, screws are just loose in a bag, I packed it right up and it's going back. I'd hit the books market if I wanted used. get it together
