I divide tools into two categories. Those designed to be used once. Those designed to last. I only ever buy the second group. Anything too expensive can be hired.
It took a fencing contractor a couple of days to dig the holes for our ~150m of fences. By hand because there's no access for machinery. Holes that would take the post plus a bag of rapid set each.
Add a few hours to put up the pailings with an air nailer.
That's the sort of work I'm happy to pay someone with the professional grade tools to do for me.
