HARDWOOD AUGER 29MM X 450MM ROTECH HA29450
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's this auger made of?
It's made of high-grade chromium alloy steel, which gives it a pressure strength of 4000–5000 MPa. That's roughly 10 times stronger than standard hardwood augers, so it'll handle tough timber without breaking.
What size holes does this auger drill?
This is a 29mm auger, so it drills clean 29mm holes through timber posts. It's suited to drilling holes for running barb wire and other larger applications. If you're installing a gate kit, Rotech recommend getting an auger that's slightly larger than your kit size—so for a 16mm gate kit, use an 18mm auger instead.
Will this work with my gate kit?
This 29mm auger is better suited to larger jobs like drilling holes for barb wire. If you're installing a gate kit, the smaller sizes (18mm and 20mm) are designed to fit gate kits properly. Rotech recommend using an auger slightly larger than your kit size to make future removal easier.
What can I use this for?
This auger is perfect for drilling clean holes through timber posts. The 29mm size is ideal for drilling holes to run barb wire through your posts, as well as other larger drilling jobs on wooden fence posts.
