Default Digging a fence panel post hole

Hi
I need to install 7 fence posts, I want to do them AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!

They are 9 foot posts

As I understand it I should aim to do a narrow hole as possible. But I
have also read I should stick some hardcore down there to help hold it in
place - doesn't this mean I should dig the holes a bit wider than the post
itself? or they just mean smaller rubble?

Anyhow, which tool will do it for me the quickest?

Looks a bit small.....?

Any good?

I also saw a digging shovel available elsewhe

Post Hole Borer Manual in the first link,i used one to put in 10 fence
posts, a doddle. Bore the hole bit of rubble & then I used post mix (B&Q,
Wickes) per post.
