The Best Petrol Post Driver Add-Ons for Every Job

If you’re familiar with the Easy Petrol Post Driver, you already know that it has a myriad of applications across a whole host of industries; from fencing to farming, forestry to landscaping, marquees to outdoor events structures and much more. But did you know that we also stock a range of add-ons to make whatever job you’re tackling even easier? Let’s explore the best Petrol Post Driver add-ons and why you should add them to your collection.

Pilot Core Tool for Working in Hard Ground

Our Pilot Core Tool is an attachment for the Petrol Post Driver that enables you to remove a core of earth out of the ground prior to driving in your stakes. Precisely designed to work on bone dry and hard ground, the cutting head has been heat treated to make it more durable and hard-wearing. This is especially useful when driving in larger posts, or when you’re working with heavy clay or chalk ground.

The clever design of the Pilot Core Tool has a narrower cutting head than the tube, allowing the core of earth to tip out freely. If the ground is exceptionally dry, we also recommend filling the hole with water and allowing it to soak for a few minutes. The increased moisture content in the soil will help the stakes to drive much faster! Check out our blog for more information on driving posts into dry or hard ground with a Pilot Core Tool.We also stock a Pointed Pilot Bar if you’d prefer a manual option for creating pilot holes.

Hour Counter and Tachometer for Monitoring Usage

If you’re a manual labourer that is regularly exposed to vibration, then it’s vital to take preventative measures to protect yourself from developing possible occupational health issues. Although the spring-dampened handles on a Petrol Post Driver are designed to absorb a large part of the initial vibrations, we advise tracking your workload to ensure that you’re using it safely and not impacting your health.

Combining your Petrol Post Driver with an Hour Counter and Tachometer is a great way to monitor usage, including RPM and engine hours, to ensure that you’re not overexposing yourself to vibrations from the machinery. It can be installed quickly and easily, and can even be fitted retrospectively. Find out more about the benefits of using an hour counter and tachometer with a Petrol Post Driver here.

Adjustable Post Level for Accurate Post Knocking Every Time

The Adjustable Post Level is the perfect sidekick when knocking in posts. With three built-in spirit vials for checking both vertical and horizontal alignment, it makes it easy to get your posts perfectly straight. The adjustable strap holds tight to most post sizes for hands-free use, keeping it securely in place while you work. Whether you’re putting up fencing, decking or signposts, this handy tool will help line things up quickly and accurately. It folds flat when you're done to save space, too. A simple tool that makes a big difference!

Long Handles for Installing Tall Posts

The Long Handle Attachment for the Easy Petrol Post Driver gives an extra 60cm of handle length – no ladders needed! Install it in the bottom of the Petrol Post Driver for driving in extra-long posts such as for deer fencing or vine posts, or use it in the top of the machine if you’re driving in posts on a hillside below your feet. It can also be used for driving off pontoons, or to eliminate the need for bending over when driving stakes all the way into the ground. Check out our blog here for more information on installing and using the Long Handle Attachment.

Easy Soil Sampling Kit for Effective Testing

Soil samples are required for many different industries, such as agriculture, construction, ecology, landscaping and more. They determine the construction of the soil beneath ground level and the composition of the soil, including nutrients contaminants, acidity and pH level.

The Easy Soil Sampling Kit is an add-on for your Petrol Post Driver that allows you to take deep soil samples with ease. It works by removing a 1.5m x 3.8cm soil sample from the ground, which can then be slid into clear specimen tubes and sealed, enabling the sample to be transported and inspected without disturbance. Need a bigger sample size? Add the Soil Sampler Extension and Joiner to your kit to extend your sample depth to 3m. Find out more about how to use the Easy Soil Sampling Kit here.

Marquee Pin Stake Remover for Faster Take Down Times

When it comes to setting up marquees for events, choosing the right equipment makes all the difference. If you’re a marquee installer or events contractoralready using the Marquee model of the Petrol Post Driver to quickly and efficiently set up your structures, then why not invest in an extra bit of kit to make the dismantling time quicker too?

Our Marquee Pin Stake Remover is an effortless way of removing marquee pins from the ground. With a rubber handle for grip and comfort and a galvanised finish for durability, the 20mm and 25mm jaws pinch the shaft of the marquee pin to lever the stake out of the ground with ease.
