A digging apparatus (10, 300) is disclosed. The digging apparatus(10,300) includes a handle assembly (14, 14a, 314), a motor (32), a main switch (22, 322) electrically connected with the motor(32). The main switch(22,322) is movable between a first position in which operation of the motor(32) is allowed and a second position in which operation of the motor(32) is prevented, and a drilling bit (88, 88a, 388) is driven by the motor(32). The drilling bit (88, 88a, 388)has a longitudinal axis (P-P, M-M), and when the switch member (22, 322) is in the first position, the motor(32) is adapted to drive the drilling bit (88, 88a, 388) to rotate about the longitudinal axis (P-P, M-M) in a clockwise direction in response to pushing of the handle assembly(14, 14a, 314) in a direction towards the drilling bit(88, 88a, 388), and the motor(32) is adapted to drive the drilling bit(88, 88a, 388) to rotate about the longitudinal axis(P-P, M-M) in an anti-clockwise direction in response to pulling of the handle assembly (14, 14a, 314) in a direction away from the drilling bit(88, 88a, 388).
