First time I've used one and it couldn't be easier. I had a 2ft deep hole in 20 minutes, with little effort. However, no stones at all.
Now all I need to know is whether it's going to be freezing overnight, otherwise I could put the post in this afternoon.
The post shovel is worth its weight in gold. When I've done the fence post, it's going to be a sturdy washing line next.
Okay, time to check the forecast!
