Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fiskars 9653 Post Hole Digger
Customer Review: Fiskar post hole digger
Summary: 4 Stars
This digger is much easier to use than the old wooden handled diggers. It has a side to side motion which makes it easier to dig and pull out the dirt. Construction is heavy-duty- I don't think you'll break the handles off anytime soon.Customer Review: Good accessory
Summary: 4 Stars
I am presently using three post hole diggers for a large deck project. This is a useful tool but don't throw out the cheapo wooden handled digger. For the shallower dirt I use the wooden handled tool mainly because it is lighter which I think is the most important consideration. You expend most of your energy pulling the tool out of the hole and if it is heavy, you'll wear out quick. None of the tools pull out more than a few handfuls at a time. The narrow blade of the Fiskar is great for shaving the sides of the hole and creating ledges. The hinges however are further from the cutting edges causing them to come together more parallel; because of this, loose loads tend to slip from the jaws more as you are pulling it out.Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
These post hole diggers are great to use. They allow you to get a deep hole without having to widen the top of the hole for the handles to spread out. The handle design helps to keep your fingers from being pinched every time you open the spades. I will never go back to the old style again. I give this item a "Must Buy".Customer Review: Great for deep holes!
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't seem to dig past about 30" with traditional post-hole diggers, but with this tool can easily go about four feet deep. It's a great design and very well-built, and made my project possible.Customer Review: I use them most every day!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a fence contractor in central Texas where the ground is primarily hard packed soil and rock. Augers typically bounce off the ground and are practically impossible to use here. Having gone through many different types and makes of post hole diggers, I have to say that these Fiskars post hole diggers are by far the best I have used. Their solid one piece construction for each arm means that there is no part to twist and break like most post hole diggers. They have a nice weight to them allowing them to really bite into the soil with every down stroke. The blades stay straight and sharp through tons of abuse, even when striking rock constantly. They also are able to take a LOT of side ways force when trying to loosen stones or old pieces of concrete from previous post construction. The beautiful part of the handle design is that you aren't rapping your knuckles every time you push your hands towards one another, and due to the slim design of the tool, you can dig a hole deeper than a traditionally designed post hole digger. Lastly, no one beats their warranty. Mine eventually broke at the welded pivot point for the handles after several years of use. I emailed them a picture of the broken tool and my proof of purchase and shortly there after I received my replacement in the mail. No shipping costs or other charges out of my pocket. Great tool, great customer service!
