Honda petrol post driver

The Honda petrol post driver is a handheld powered driver for star pickets and small posts. The Honda petrol engine starts on the pull cord and drives pickets into soft to medium ground without manual swinging.

Star picket driver

The star picket driver is a manual slide-hammer tool for installing steel pickets. The design delivers consistent strikes without overhead swinging and suits long runs of pickets where a powered driver isn’t needed.

Plate compactor

The plate compactor is a petrol-powered vibrating plate for compacting gravel, road base, sand and soil. The unit finishes uneven fill into a stable working surface for paving, footings or driveway prep.

Machinery loading ramps

The machinery loading ramps are heavy-duty steel ramps for loading small to mid-sized plant onto utes, tipper trucks and customer trailers without a built-in tilt or ramp system.

Wire spinner

The wire spinner is a manual tool that holds a wire reel on a rotating spindle for smooth unspooling. The tool keeps wire from kinking or tangling during long fence wire runs.

The five tools in the kit handle ground compaction, post installation, boundary work and machinery loading across the Whitsundays.

Paving, footings and driveway compaction

Builders, landscapers and DIY property owners use the plate compactor to prepare base layers for pavers, slabs, driveways, garden beds and shed footings. The vibrating plate locks gravel and sand into a stable layer before the surface treatment goes down.

Signage, gate and marker post installation

Council contractors, sign installers and property developers use the post drivers for putting in signage posts, gate posts, sediment fence pickets and survey markers. The handheld Honda post driver suits jobs where a tractor-mounted driver can’t access the install point.

Rural property and boundary fencing

Rural property owners, fencing contractors and farmers use the post driver, star picket driver and wire spinner together for installing fencing across paddocks, boundaries and stockyards. The petrol post driver speeds up steel and timber post installation, while the wire spinner handles long wire runs without tangling.

Machinery loading between sites

Customers self-towing rented mini excavators or skid steers use the loading ramps to load plant onto utes, tipper trucks or trailers. The ramps suit transport between job sites where the vehicle doesn’t have a built-in hydraulic tilt.
