As the name suggests, a post hole digger is primarily used for digging holes to install posts. |

Compared to other tools, such as a spade, it is much easier to use when digging holes because it requires much less time and physical effort. The user does not have to constantly bend over to dig. |

A spade and similar digging tools are also not ideal for post hole digging, as they will create holes much bigger than is needed due to their shape. |

Post holes are usually required to be deep and cylindrical, with even sides, in order to support the bottom of a post when it is in the ground. |

Post hole diggers are designed with long handles which means they can dig deep within a hole to depths which would normally be out of the user’s reach. |
