[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1516296, member: 18945"] Yes I have and I have a set of them. They weigh about 20lbs too. One of the few tools I ever bought from TSC that worked good and held up, but I gotta tell ya... after 49 years of digging a hole with regular posthole diggers, and jabbing them down in the hole with the handles closed together, then using them double jointed ones where you jabbed into the holes with the handles apart sure got me confused if I wasn't careful. Even now, if I start the hole with regular diggers and switch over to the other ones after I get deeper, I have to think each time I start down with em. Mine are a different brand, and the pivot points are a little different on mine, but this is how they work..more or less: [img]http://theholedeal.com/pics/animation.gif[/img] I also have a set of the old split handle lineman diggers, with handles about 8' long. I can't really explain it, but the handles are half round and will slide right past each other and you can dig a lot deeper and wider bottomed hole without opening the top of the hole up much. I had to quit using them tho...the old wooden handles were splintering and tearing my hands up. Looks like they still make them tho they ain't cheap: [url=https://www.jharlen.com/p-12637-oshkosh-8ft-split-handle-post-hole-digger.aspx]https://www.jharlen.com/p-12637-oshkosh ... igger.aspx[/url] [/QUOTE]
