And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Somebody pointed out the difference between a digging bar and one used specifically for post holes. Here's the post hole version.
We used to call these “piss ant” bars, used them to move huge rocks to build hiking trails in SoCal when I was a young buck. Still own one to this day.
I have one similar to this. Have used it for I forget how many years. Very useful for digging out rocks and tree stumps. Can't remember what I paid for it, but it was worth every penny.
Have dug many post holes. A breaker bar is for cutting roots or breaking rock the post hole diggers can't break. After 8 or 9 feet we used a little(?) dynamite. Bubbarust

ReplyDeleteA pretty good lever when you need one ...
ReplyDeleteI've used one to pull up ligustrum stumps. Nice tool.
ReplyDeleteSpud Bar.
ReplyDelete50" seems quite short to make good use of as a prying or tamping tool, but I see they make one that is 68" too.
ReplyDeleteYou guys got bars when you were digging post holes?!?!?!??!
ReplyDeleteOne would think an auger would be preferable. But what do I know?

Augers can struggle in rocks, roots, clay, etc. When that happens you go to muscle and iron bar.
