Post hole digger vs. auger - I was an idiot for years
I spent 5 years digging post holes by hand because I thought augers were too expensive for small jobs. Borrowed a one-man auger from a buddy in Denver last month and dug 12 holes in 45 minutes instead of 3 hours. Anyone else waste time being stubborn about tools?

Wait, did your buddy have any issues with that rental auger hitting rocks? My neighbor in Denver tried one and it damn near threw him across the yard when it caught a big one. He still says it was worth it for the time saved though.

Dude, I feel you (or rather, I feel your neighbor's pain). My buddy actually came away with a nasty bruise on his ribs after a rock sent the handle spinning, but he was weirdly proud of it. He kept saying "at least I got the holes done in one afternoon" while icing his side.
