• What is a double arm post hole digger used for?
  It’s used for creating deep, narrow holes for fence posts, planting and landscaping with less backfill than a wide spade hole.

• Are the blades durable?

Top Tip:

Try to choose a time or damper weather conditions, rock hard ground will be much harder going and may require a digging bar to aid in the digging.
