A post hole pincer also known as a post hole clam digger, post hole digger, or a shove holer, is a tool consisting of two configured as shovel-like blades that form a partial, hollow cylinder that can range around a foot long and a few inches wide. Through two long handles, the blades form in an open-parallel position or a closed position referred to as convergent position. This landscaping tool is used to dig holes in the ground for general gardening purposes such as setting fence and sign posts or planting saplings by horticulturists. To use this hole digger tool, it is poked into the ground with the blades in the open position, the handles are then used to close the blades to then grab the portion of soil between them. The post hole digger tool is then pulled out and the soil is deposited by the side and the process is then repeated until the hole is deep enough for the desired use. The difference between a post hole digger and an auger is that an auger consists of a rotating shaft with one or more blades attached at the end. Augers can create round, straight, and a fixed diameter hole whereas a post hole digger tool can be used to dig holes of any shape and any diameter greater than that of the open blades.
