To keep your post hole digger in excellent working order, there are a few simple steps that you can follow. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clean
|
|
|
|
|
Clean your digger after every use by rubbing it with a towel, cloth or rag in order to remove any dirt and debris. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do not allow dirt, debris or grease to build up on the digger, as this will stiffen the joints and make it less effective when digging. |

Oil
|
|
|
|
|
Due to the fact that a post hole digger is designed to be used outdoors, rust is often a high risk. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To prevent your digger from rusting, oil the blades, handles and joints regularly. |

|
Varnish
|
|
|
|
|
Diggers with wooden handles can also be varnished to provide extra protection. Use a wood varnish to keep the handles in top-quality condition. |

Storage
|
|
|
|
|
When not in use, store your post hole digger inside in a dry place to prevent it from rusting. |
