how does one add the extensions and what size is it? Does it need pins? And what size are they? Finally. Can the handle be extended w/0 damage

The shaft of the auger is basically standard black iron pipe, with the handle fitting welded to the top. The auger harness/yoke should just unscrew from the handle, and you could just add a pipe coupler and nipple/extension piece to make it as long as you want. The holes I used mine for were 30 inches deep, and I didn't need to extend the pipe, although if I was going any deeper, I would have.I also have to agree with lpcrsotp, I won't use a clamshell post hole digger again after buying one of these. I put in a quarter mile of fence this spring using one of these.

Better answer then my last one. Yes, it looks like the handle can be lengthened. The stem of the handle is welded onto the top part that holds the wood handle and the bottom is threaded into the auger. It looks to me like standart rigid pipe. It would be possible to use a suitable length pipe threadeed on both ends and a threaded coupling to fansten the new pipe to the existing handle, then thread the auger head back on. As I said in the first answer, I really like this auger. It works well in soil that holds together well but would be useless in sandy soil.

The part that extends is the auger blades which can be adjusted for a larger or smaller diameter hole. I have had no need to extend the handle but have used the auger to dig holes up to 32-33 inches deep. I have used this for over one year and would never go back to the other type post hold digger.

You can add pipe to the depth you need. I would not want to extend the handles.

Yes, the handle is a little bigger than the regular one. Plus, if you look closely it shows it connected to the extension pole in the picture.

Other answers gave you the dimensions of the attachment.It is made of heavy steel, and has performed well for me. I use a handle that is extendable 4-6 feet. I have other handles that go up to fourteen feet--but not for use with this tool.As mentioned in one of the responses, this all depends on the handle you buy as part of your system of attachments and handles. Over the last handful of years, I bought a wide range of heads (like this) and handles. I mix & match for each specific job.

The part number listed with this product is 1440. So I did a quick google and found this listing on the Davis product page: Handi-Mate extension handle Outboard Extension Handle fits virtually all twist-grip outboard motors! Handi-Mate extends handle from 30 to 47" (.76 to 1.19 meters). Easy to install-tough polycarbonate head simply clamps over existing handle grip. Does not affect throttle tension adjustment. Depress button & align proper hole for desired length....

The one I have is 3 1/2 inches long. Works fine for me. Don't really see the advantage of a longer handle. You don't need a death grip on it or a lot of leverage.

The push handle is telescopic, so it can be shortened. Also, I don't believe it would be too difficult to remove if necessary.

I used the.bolts that were included. U could use the old ones from your other handle or take the ones included with the new handle to a hardware store and ask if they have some bolts like those. Good luck.

Are you talking about the long handle or the short, cross-wise handle? If your long handle is loose, twist the ring that you would hang it from, at the end of the handle, clockwise to tighten it. Mine was loose as well. You might have to stick something through the ring to get enough leverage, unless you're an Amazon!

As I recall the handle itself is the extension? The crank section comes off and the remaining extension will accept the drill chuck?

The handle is adjustable. On each end of the handle are 2 sets of holes that pop over studs inside the back panel of the case to enlarge incrementally the handle. I have large hands and extended the handle one half of the adjustment range longer and it is perfect. There is still room to expand the handle another inch or so longer than I am using it.

Yes! There is a small hole that a "pin" pops in and out of that releases the handle. It's very similar to a vacuum cleaner handle extender. Very easy to add or remove the handle.

You will need to two screws. This handle comes with the screws you will need. These handles are also very nice. I am very satisfied with them.

Theoretically yes, the handle attaches via standard sized threads but I have not tried this.

It was a 10 second set up....take out of the box and extend the handle....I bought 2 of them. One has been used several times this month!

The handle is not permanently attached because it's a tiny bit loose. But putting in another handle would, to me, be a major engineering project (I'm not very handy with tools). The original handle appears to have been inserted into the metal sleeve attached to the "paddle" and then something punched three "dents" into the sleeve on the top and bottom and where the "dents" went into the wooden handle is what holds it on. There are no screws. If you drilled holes in the sleeve where the "dents" are the handle would probably come out and you could put screws into the holes to hold the longer handle on. I wouldn't attempt this myself but I can see how it could be done. However, I wonder if it would be worth the effort. Plus you might have to size a new handle to fit into the sleeve. Sorry this isn't too clear.

The handle is approx. 1 inch interior diameter at the fatter end and tapers down to about a 3/4 inch size. I would reccomend a 1 inch and then carve/sand it to fit the handle more snugly. There is also a 1/8 inch hole on he handle if you want to drill a hole in the pole and pin or screw the pole in perpendicular to the handle.

I bought the original with an extension pole already on it with one scrubber. I got on Amazon to purchase additional ends and it fits on the pole. I don't know the number on the pole. Sorry if this is not the help you wanted.
