I was sure my old fence was fine until last Tuesday
We got that heavy wind storm in the afternoon and a whole 12-foot section just tipped over into my neighbor's yard. It was the original cedar from 1998, and the posts were completely rotted below ground. I spent the next three days digging out concrete and setting new pressure-treated 4x4s. Has anyone had luck with those post hole digger attachments for a drill, or is a manual clamshell still the way to go?

That drill attachment is a total waste of money for fence posts. It just spins and makes a mess in anything but perfect sand. I went back to my manual clamshell digger and got the job done right.

Used to swear by those auger attachments until I hit rocky clay. Total disaster that cost me half a day. The old manual digger is slow but it actually works.
