How does it work?
You can find instructions and tips online, like these from wikiHow or watch this video from This Old House. The post hole digger is driven in the ground and the handles are spread apart to close the blades. This digger is lifted, and the soil is deposited to the side. This process is repeated to make the hole deeper.
