What is a "post hole digger"?
A post hole digger is a tool used to dig narrow, deep holes for setting posts, such as for fences, signs, or other structures. It consists of two long handles attached to sharp, scoop-like blades that can be opened and closed by squeezing the handles. When the blades are placed in the ground and squeezed together, they cut into the soil, lifting it out of the hole. Post hole diggers are ideal for digging precise, deep holes and are commonly used in landscaping, construction, and other projects that require secure post placement.
