FAQs

What hole sizes can a post hole borer drill?

The diameter of the hole depends on the auger bit fitted to the machine. Both STIHL earth augers and EGO cordless augers accept compatible accessories, with some bits capable of producing holes up to 300 mm wide. Extension shafts can also be fitted to drill deeper when the job demands it.

Are STIHL and EGO post hole augers easy to operate?

Yes. Both STIHL petrol augers and EGO cordless augers are designed to take the hard work out of digging. By following the manufacturer's operating instructions, wearing the recommended PPE and using the correct technique, you can create neat, consistent holes with far less effort than manual digging.

Should I choose a STIHL petrol auger or an EGO cordless auger?

The right choice depends on how and where you'll be working. A STIHL petrol earth auger delivers impressive power and unlimited runtime as long as you have fuel, making it ideal for professional applications and demanding ground conditions. An EGO cordless auger operates more quietly, requires less routine maintenance and produces no exhaust emissions, making it an excellent choice for domestic users and noise-sensitive environments.

Can a STIHL earth auger be used in hard or compacted ground?

Yes. A STIHL petrol earth auger fitted with the appropriate auger bit is capable of tackling heavy clay, compacted soil and other challenging ground conditions much more effectively than manual digging tools. However, drilling performance will always depend on the type and condition of the soil.

Are accessories available for STIHL and EGO post hole augers?

Yes, they are. We sell a range of accessories for both STIHL petrol augers and EGO cordless augers, including auger bits, extension shafts and drill chucks. These attachments make it easy to adapt your machine for different hole diameters and depths, increasing its versatility across fencing, planting and landscaping projects.
