Dig clean, straight sided holes without renting an auger. The CKG heavy duty post hole digger combines hand welded steel blades, a reinforced hinge and laser etched depth markings on the shaft, so you can set fence posts, mailboxes and deck footings to exact depth on the first try. The angled clamshell blades bite into compacted soil, clay and rooty ground that bends cheaper stamped diggers.
At 57 inches long with cushioned non-slip grips, this manual post hole digger gives you real leverage without wrecking your back, and the narrow clamshell profile keeps holes tight so posts set firm with less concrete. A marine grade rust proof finish shrugs off wet soil and outdoor storage. Built by CKG, the same company whose sand scoops and digging gear are trusted by more than 10,000 treasure hunters, this is a tool made for people who dig for a living and for fun.
