Do you remember
five years ago
I did post some ideas about electric post hole digger.
I did make some prototypes ,by removing petrol combustion engine and replacing with electric motor from Ryobi chainsaw.
Did work but was awfully ugly to use.



there were some problems too,
motor 2200W too powerful



rotation direction wrong, but fixed later



In a year or so later Chinese manufacturer build for me on special order those machines



I sold couple hundreds of those on eBay since then
being the only supplier of electric augers



didn't make any money, but that is fine with me ....
still could see room for some improvements but time to go for new challenges ...

This for ice fishing

The most difficult part when going to manufacture your device is choosing the right color.
Yellow?, Black? Red? Green
I did choose Makita like blue

I see that you have a firm grasp on the principles of manufacturing and international trade ............
Simple old me always thought that the idea was to produce a well designed economically viable commodity well suited to a reasonably broad market. Wrong again apparently.

you have a fire fighter unit marco? or just a standard agri pump

look up water spear.

length of copper pipe, $5. squeeze the end into a point, plumb it to your pump and off you go.

dig holes faster than than a rabbit on meth. rock hard ground? no problem. fence post or star picket to remove? even easier

makes one hell of a muddy mess though :)

I did try water blaster digging. In some cases it works. But I show you another invention of mine for earth hole digging. Earth vaccum. I may send in next post to give people more opportunity to critique.

any sign of a battery version or one to plug into your car battery /anderson plug? 240v no good to me

for serious digging you need the power.
At 1200W but only 12V it means 100amps.
Your ordinary lead-acid battery is happy to supply 1C.
Lithium battery are much better , but still to provide you 1 kw of power you need quite a bit set, not one of Ryobi drill.
