For drilling small, individual holes such as when planting vines or plants, we recommend a medium-power earth auger with a displacement of up to 50 cm3 and engine controls accessible with just one hand. The catalogue model, the MTL 51, is comfortable and safe: a safety lever on the ergonomic handgrip prevents uncontrolled acceleration.
For larger diameter holes and drilling into harder ground, such as when installing street lighting, a professional earth auger is preferable. These models require the presence of two operators and have an engine displacement of up to 90 cm3. An automatic safety switch stops the engine if the operator loses control of the handgrips.
