Ordered online, the parcel arrived within a week. I was quite impressed by that. That afternoon, my son and I decided it was time to assemble it.

Opening the box all parts were present and wrapped for protection. The manual is located online. They provide a sheet of paper to explain this. So a few nuts and bolts later, the digger was ready. You attach the reduction drive and handles and the auger piece/s as needed. A quick note, the handles can be attached inside or outsides the body section. It is your choice. A quick overview. The top provides the engine. To each side are the handles, one of which has the throttle. Down past the reduction gearbox you get the auger section. Basically a big drill. This is approx a 800mm long. There is an extension piece of approx 600mm. So you can get a bit short of a metre and a half deep. Some report it as 1800mm, but for my uses, the 1.5m, is more than enough. A quick addition of some 25:1 2 stroke fuel. Quick note here, find a couple of bricks to sit the unit on while fuelling, as it will not stand on the protruding post. Once fuelled, attach the auger, or auger and extension if you are going deep. The unit started easily with a little choke. Make sure you pump the fuel bubble to get fuel into the system to start with. The hole I needed was about 40cm deep. While not being too deep, I would struggle to dig it and be sore for days afterward. The post hole digger started, me on one side, my son on the other, a few short squeezes on the throttle and the auger ripped into the ground, like it knew what it was doing. A quick check on depth, nope, need a little more, another short burst, hole dug. The Bauer-AG BPX700 Post Hole Digger can also be used as a 1 or 2 person tool. Now this was to plant an Orange tree I had purchased. I can absolutely recommend a post hole digger for this purpose. Total hole digging time . . . about 1 minute! I have a back fence to replace, plus a deck I want to build out the front, along with a few more fruit trees, so the Bauer-AG BPX700 Post Hole Digger will be earning it's keep. I also expect some friends to borrow it at times. Looking at how easy it is to use, with basic handyman skills, maybe watch a YouTube video, I am sure any sensible adult could happily dig themselves all the holes they needed. I don't expect I will wear this one out in my lifetime, the unit is very sturdily built. The auger itself is very strong. I live in a relatively rock free area, so would expect the Bauer-AG BPX700 to maybe struggle in heavily rocky ground. But for your average household, farm or similar, this is a great Post Hole Digger.
