About Product Overview

Digging fence post holes, footings, or planting pits calls for a tool that won't fold under leverage, and Seymour's S500 Industrial post hole digger is built for exactly that kind of work. The two-handle design lets you plunge the steel blades into the ground, then spread the handles to scoop and lift soil out in one motion, cutting the number of trips needed to clear a hole. The Hercules pattern blades measure 9 inches long and 6.25 inches wide, giving you a hole wide enough to set posts properly without excessive backfilling, and a maximum working depth of 6.25 inches per bite keeps the digging controlled rather than a wrestling match with the dirt.

The 48-inch wood handles put your hands well above the hole for good leverage and back position, and the natural wood grip holds up to repeated use season after season. Made in the USA, this is a tool built for people setting fence lines, mailbox posts, or garden structures who want a digger that will still be straight and solid after the job's done.

  • Blade length: 9 inches
  • Blade width: 6.25 inches
  • Maximum depth: 6.25 inches per scoop
  • Handle length: 48 inches, wood, long-handle design
  • Overall length: 53 inches

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

Ask our counter. Or theirs.

Most hardware stores can do more than you think. If we can't help you, the folks down the street probably can — just ask at the counter.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a familiar banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
