HARDWOOD AUGER 22MM X 450MM ROTECH HA22450
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.
Common Questions
What is this auger used for?
This hardwood auger is designed for drilling clean holes through timber posts. It's ideal for installing latches, running wire through posts, and drilling holes for gate kits and barbed wire.
What makes Rotech augers different from standard ones?
Rotech Hardwood Augers are made of high-grade chromium alloy steel, which gives them significantly greater pressure strength compared to standard hardwood augers made of high carbon steel. This means they're more durable and reliable for tough drilling jobs.
Should I get a different size auger if I'm installing a gate kit?
Yes. We recommend using a slightly larger auger than your gate kit size. For example, if you're installing a 16mm gate kit, use the 18mm auger. A larger hole makes it easier to remove and reinstall the gate kit in future—it will simply slide in and out with minimal hassle.
