The auger on my post hole digger snapped right in half this morning
Was digging holes for a new privacy fence in my backyard when the auger blade just gave up and split clean down the middle after hitting a buried rock. Has anyone else had a drill attachment fail like that mid job or was I just unlucky?

Maybe the auger had a hairline crack from before that just waited for the perfect moment to let go. I've seen that happen with drill bits and stuff at work, where a tiny flaw you can't even see gives out under pressure. Those buried rocks can be sneaky too, they'll twist the blade just right and snap something that should have held. Could be worth checking the rest of your digger over real close for any other thin spots before you go back at it.

Wait, you actually SAW a drill bit snap from a hairline crack before?
