Someone can borrow my idiot sticks too. Not bad for a 6" hole to 30" deep. Any deeper and it doesn't want to clean the hole unless you widen it out to about 12" in diameter. For most posts, I don't want to go wide enough necessary for the handles to spread. For narrow 6" holes going 36"+ deep, I have a round auger head mounted on a tee handle pipe. Go so far with the clam shell until you can't spread them any more then finish out the hole with hand auger. OK for a few holes at a time but mud really gums up the works and sticks to the metal. Spend more time and effort cleaning mud off the clam shells and the auger than the actual digging of dry soil. With a second guy to trade off not so bad. At least with the clamshell, I quit when my arms get tired and no clock is ticking on the rental. They need to be sharp for hard clay.
Besides, for less than the price of the rental, I own the digger. He who dies with the most tools in the shed wins.
