HARDWOOD AUGER 16MM X 450MM ROTECH HA16450
Need an auger for your wooden fence post.
These hard wood augers make installing your latches a breeze.
Rotech Hardwood Augers are made of high-grade chromium alloy steel which has a pressure strength of 4000-5000 MPa while standard hardwood augers are made of a high carbon steel which generally has a pressure strength of 400-500 MPa.
These augers are perfect for drilling clean holes through your timber posts.
There is a wide variety of sizes for a multitude of uses.
The smaller sizes are excellent for drilling holes for latches and for holes to run wire through.
The 18mm and 20mm augers provide a great fit for our gate kits.
Also available are bigger sizes which are better for drilling holes to run barb wire through your posts.
If purchasing an auger to install a gate kit, we recommend you use a slightly larger sized auger.
For example, if you are getting a 16mm gate kit, get the 18mm auger.
If you need to pull the gate kit out in the future the larger hole will make it easier.
It will simply slide in and out with minimal hassle.
