EGO Power+ 8-inch Auger EG0800 – Cordless Post Hole Digger, 65 ft-lbs Torque, 8-inch Bit Included

Overview

The EGO POWER+ Earth Auger is built to lighten heavy digging tasks, from fence posts to garden borders. Its high‑efficiency brushless motor delivers 65 foot‑pounds of torque, helping the auger bite through hard and rocky soil with steady, responsive power. The cordless design means you can move freely across your yard without a power cord snagging on obstacles, while the anti‑kickback system adds a layer of protection against unexpected jams.

The ergonomically designed handle gives you a comfortable, controlled grip as you guide the bit into the ground. This thoughtful design, paired with a responsive reverse function, helps you manage tough soil and recover quickly when needed. The 56V ARC Lithium platform ensures the power you need is readily available from compatible batteries, and the universal bit connection expands the range of bits you can use for different digging tasks.

Designed for real-world digging, this cordless auger comes with an 8‑inch earth auger bit included, so you’re ready to start right away. It bores up to 50 holes on a single charge when paired with the recommended 4.0Ah ARC Lithium battery, giving you substantial productivity on typical yard projects. High and low speeds, plus a reverse function, let you tailor digging to soil conditions and work with fewer interruptions.

Charge planning is simple: pairing the auger with a 4.0Ah ARC Lithium battery offers the best balance of runtime and performance.

Real-world uses include installing fence posts, preparing planting holes for trees or shrubs, and creating bed borders. The combination of torque, control, and a long-running battery option means you can tackle medium‑to‑large projects without frequent recharges. As with any outdoor power tool, consider soil conditions and avoid prolonged use in excessively rocky or uncompromising substrates to maintain best results. Power Beyond Belief is the tagline, but practical use comes from matching the tool to the task at hand.
