Today is why I won’t go back to Amazon. We drove to the Fond du Loc Ace from the Milwaukee area because they were the only ones who had the Ego earth auger in stock, and I am planting 100 bare root trees and shrubs this weekend. Between our clay soil and my age? I need the auger.

On top of that, the staff is customer oriented and extremely knowledgeable. Kay can help you figure out any project solution from your roof to basement and everything in between.
