Eliminate backbreaking shoveling with this electric 40V Brushless 8" Earth Auger from HART. This cordless tool comes equipped with an 8" Auger Bit making it perfect for pole hole digging, planting and setting up 4x4 fence posts with ease. The brushless motor not only has the power to dig up dirt, but also allows up to 30 holes per charge. It also delivers more power, longer runtime and longer motor life. This auger packs a lot of power with 200 RPMs and 53.98 ft.lbs. of torque (That's 30% more power when compared to gas.) For peace of mind, the Anti-Kickback design prevents kickback when coming in contact with rocks or roots. Quick-connect capability allows for easy bit change. It also has 2 forward speed settings (high/low) as well as a reverse speed function. Having this level of control is important depending upon the task at hand. In addition, this battery-powered tool is hassle-free (no gas or oil needed) and quiet with zero emissions.
