Weekly Hire: Post Hole Borer – Petrol

Powerful Petrol Post Hole Borer Available for Hire

Hire a one-person petrol-powered post hole borer for fencing, signage, planting, and groundwork projects across the Midlands and Yorkshire. Fitted with a 150mm earth auger bit and driven by a reliable two-stroke engine, this petrol post hole borer takes the back-breaking effort out of digging holes — letting you sink multiple post holes quickly, cleanly, and consistently.

Key Features at a Glance

The HFHIRE001 petrol post hole borer is built for fast, efficient hole digging:

• 150mm earth auger bit — ideal for standard fence and sign posts
• Two-stroke petrol engine for cordless, go-anywhere operation
• Easily operated by one person — no need for a second pair of hands
• Quickly creates multiple holes with consistent depth and diameter
• Versatile use for fence posts, sign posts, planting, and more
• Available on flexible hire terms to suit short or extended project durations

Save Hours of Hard Graft

Digging post holes by hand is slow, exhausting work — particularly in compacted, stony, or clay-heavy ground. The HFHIRE001 petrol post hole borer transforms the job, cutting clean, vertical holes in a fraction of the time and with a fraction of the effort. Whether you're putting in a few fence posts at home or running a full perimeter fence around a paddock, building site, or commercial property, the time and energy savings are substantial.

Versatile for Fencing, Planting and More

The 150mm auger bit is sized to suit standard timber and metal fence posts, sign posts, washing line posts, and similar applications. It's also ideal for planting work — sinking holes for saplings, fruit trees, shrubs, and posts for plant supports. Anywhere you need clean, repeatable holes in the ground, the post hole borer is a faster, more accurate alternative to manual digging.

Petrol Power, True Portability

The two-stroke petrol engine means the HFHIRE001 isn't tied to a power outlet — making it ideal for use on open land, farms, paddocks, building sites, and remote locations where mains electricity isn't available. Refuelling is quick, starting is straightforward, and the machine is genuinely portable from hole to hole.

Full Specification

Hire Rather Than Buy

A petrol post hole borer is a specialist tool that most users only need for a specific project — putting up a new fence line, installing signage, or completing a planting scheme. Hiring offers a cost-effective alternative to outright purchase, giving you access to a fully serviced, ready-to-use machine without the capital outlay, ongoing maintenance, or storage requirements that come with ownership.
