Angie Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 We have a large number of fence posts which we need to install later this year but the soil is almost always rock solid even after rain! As we also plan to plant several dozen trees we thought we might use something called a post hole borer/auger. Are these tools (either motorised or manual) available in France and if so, what are they called? I have tried our local lawnmover and hire shop but they don't seem to understand what I mean, despite showing them a photo. Don't mind either buying or renting. Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancer Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 You cant do better than this at the price, I have one!http://www.amazon.fr/Tari%C3%A8re-thermique-forets-inclus-rallonge/dp/B0082DL78Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391159573&sr=8-1&keywords=tari%C3%A8re+thermiqueIt lacks in power a little so you do have to clear the auger from time to time and take smaller bites like using a battery drill with a discharged battery, the real positive of that is that it will not rip your arms off or throw you around like a rag doll.Works fine for me even in heavy clay, wouldnt use it for professional everyday use as it wouldnt cut through tree roots, but then it wont injure me like the pro ones I have used.

Angie Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Absolutely brilliant, just what I want. Will get it on order this weekend. Really appreciate your replies. The tree planting etc. now doesn't seem so daunting. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
