I worked with someone who was drilling postholes on his farm.

Somehow the auger snagged his sleeve, picked him up and threw him. He landed without the shirt but with two broken arms and two broken shoulders, and it happened in such a blink nobody could react.

I think I would just hire it done, rather than renting an auger.

Â* Well Tim , that's the difference between you and I . I've always been
a hands-on kinda guy . I'd much rather do it myself than pay some
jackleg to **** it up and still end up doing it RIGHT myself . I work on
my own car , my own motorcycles , I'm building my own house and since I
have a well-equipped machine shop with 4 different kinds of welders I do
that stuff for myself too - and others , if I like them . The end result
of doing for myself is a massive collection of tools , money in the bank
that I didn't pay someone else , and a great deal of personal
satisfaction . BTW , I worked in many aspects of construction over the
years , retired as a master cabinet maker . I'm the guy that built the
$35,000 reception desks with exotic wood inlays and curved sections .
