Seymour Mfg. AU-S6 Post Hole Auger

Q: Does this only cut 6" diameter holes? Seems like that wouldn't be enough for a 4"x4" fence post where 10" diameter holes are the norm. Thanks for all the answers, I found this company makes an adjustable version with 6", 7" and 8" settings, which'll get me close to the old fencing rule "post hole diameter should be …

The hole ends up about 8". You can get 8" and 10" blades. I have dug many, many holes for 4X4 posts 3' deep including putting quikrete in some I have never known the need for 10" diameter holes for fences.

Q: how do you extend the auger coupler/?

I dug a 30' shallow well with the auger. You ideally would use stainless steel 3/4 inch couplers and 10' galvanized pipe additions. Don't use too many couplers as you might break the pipe or coupler as you bring it up to empty it. I broke one and had to replace the pipe once in my 30' digging. Hope that assures you. It looks like there are a couple of ways to go, as stated by others.

Q: what is the diameter size hole that this digs?

In the description: Blade size: 6". It will dig a 6" diameter round hole as you turn it while pushing down. When the auger fills, you pull it up and dump it, start again. It works quite well unless you have ground full of large rocks.

Q: Can it penetrate roots up to a certain diameter?

It can cut small roots but I haven't had it encounter larger roots. Most of the ones I had were 1/4 " across or smaller. I had gravelly soil and it worked great for me the times I used it.
