Does this device actually make a trench?

It will. might take longer on areas that weren't previously edged, but it will cut pretty well.
842305
Yes, it will make a narrow trench (like to lay an electrical line, etc) it can make it about 4 - 5 inches deep and about 1 inch wide

You have to have the edger next to a sidewalk and set the depth of grass you want removed and it leaves a trench.

Yes. It works quite well with a well. Not much of a water pressure hit when using this device either.

Yes it can. But it depends on the soil type how quickly. You need to pull it out to bring the dirt out every so often. I actually started with a smaller auger to start the hole and used the longer one to go down deeper. Clay soil is a bit hard to get through but doable.

It should. If it's a damp sand it would work incredibly well. Much like digging any type of hole if there are a lot of egg-sized or larger rocks or big tree roots it can be difficult to dig a hole. This arm-powered auger will really make you wonder why you ever tried to dig a post-hole with a shovel or the double-shovel type post hole diggers that are out there. Sandy soil would be a breeze to dig a hole with using this adjustable auger. Hope this helps.

YES -- MINE DOES NOW! I am putting together a review with pictures. I made my own hole with gradually increasing drill bits and am using a mini funnel to pour in oil or melted butter or other ingredients you want to stream while the blades are still moving.

I really don't know. What I do know is that when it is put in an active hole. The hole becomes inactive and they aren't a problem burrowing around my terraced back yard. As a result, my supporting walls aren't being eroded.

I have not immersed it, but Dewalt says it is and a friend used it to unclog a drain in a sink, so I would say "yes".

The quick answer is yes, and you don't have to scoop it out with your hands. But the truth is that it is much easier with a caulking gun and that is what it is made for. You can cut the tip off and push from the bottom. You would not have good control and the more you use the harder it gets. Spend $9 and get a caulking gun.

I'm not sure what "the regular classic trencher" is or suppose to be...but the "retro trencher" is NOT the original metal toy that the "old" Tonka made...It's all a play on words to me...false advertising

Short answer: No.Will it work - yes.Is it a good idea - no. It's not rated for anything other than low voltage work, and it's NOT rated for direct burial.

Yes! I just tried mine out last night, and I was surprised at how tough it is to push. I thought it did a pretty good job, but the jury is still out on whether or not I will keep it.

It sure does, if fact that's what I use. I actually screw the tem-plate down and when I am done I just use a little filler to hide the holes prior to staining or painting. The plunge router makes it a lot easier to set the desired depth you want the letters to be.

Yes, I was digging a well. Usually about 18-22 feet is our water table (the shallow one). It digs extremely well, but the gumbo clay gets stuck. You have to pull the bit out and clean it on each effort. Talk about crossfit training. I will go back to my old way of adding water through the pipe to hydro evacuate the dirt rather than using this tool. It would be great for post hole digging.

I don't know if the pipe idea would work to dig a hole that deep. I really like this auger hole digger and use it all the time to dig all sorts of holes. When I put in a garden gate, I scared myself when I dug a hole so deep I couldn't reach to the bottom with my arm. We have clay soil. The auger does not work well in any kind of rocky soil, even just a few small rocks. You have to stop and remove them. Luckily most of our top soil is relatively rock free.

No it does not. The unit is heavy in its lowest position and really heavy when extended. However it does reach the peaks of the house and gets the job done.

All the trenches have male & female ends that will slide together to form a continuous trench as long as you want it. It came with a cap for one end. I believe I ordered an additional transition piece to tie it into the corrugated field drain. It worked very well and is quite rugged.

Hi Nigel, Yes, once you dig the trench, you place the border in it and cover it back up with dirt. My wife and I did this in one day. As far as the depth of the trench that's up to you, I think we left about an inch of the boarder exposed because we laid rock down on one side and grass on the other.It does look good and is a good DIY border option. No need to stake it in either, it just sits in the ground. Hope this helps, maybe I can upload a picture later. We also cut the border with a simple hack saw, to the lengths we needed.
