The General 240H Epic Post Hole Digger has some grit and isn't afraid of chewing a new hole if you catch our drift. Let's just say it packs a punch. Perfect for contractors and Do-It-Yourselfers. No gas and oil mixing needed here. No fuss, no mess, no smoky exhaust.  The 4-stroke engine isn't the sensitive type either and can handle being set down in any position and run like a charm. The latest in the specially engineered Power-GRIP ® operator handle helps you stand the right way for digging and absorbs vibrations to help prevent injury plus, it's easier on the body so you're not as sore and crabby at the end of day. Others will appreciate that and so will you. Take our word for it. Dig up to 8 inch diameter holes with ease and if you get one stuck in the ground, it's a breeze to get it out with the easy-to-use, built-in Auger-LOK ® .
