With a wide, 6-inch auger and a heavy-duty 1500-watt motor, this corded digger would be a great choice for anyone who needs to dig a lot of holes and doesn’t want to worry about stopping to recharge batteries or refill fuel tanks.

It’s also designed to be comfortable to use, and its rubberized handles give the user a nice solid grip and allow them to harness the leverage they need to operate it safely. The safety lock on its trigger is also a great perk, preventing users from accidentally activating the auger.

Another gas-powered model, this Southland machine features a powerful 43cc engine and an 8-inch-wide auger bit with a fishtail point. Its butterfly-style handlebars allow for maximum control, and the convenient throttle trigger lets you maintain a solid grip while you work.

These handlebars are also easy to detach, which makes this digger convenient to store and a good choice for those who may be tight on space. At 34.2 pounds, it is heavier than most other options on our list though, so keep that in mind if you’d prefer something a bit lighter.
