Description

Fence Post Hole Reamer 8 inch

The EZ Fence Post Hole Reamer is a Shop-Vacuum assisted post hole enlarging tool.  As with our diggers, this  tool also operates with a standard shop vacuum to remove dirt while you ream the hole. As the EZ Reamer nears the bottom of the hole, the vacuum extracts the loose soil.  The specific design of this reamer is to enlarge 6-inch holes.  The reamer has a 6″ pilot tube to maintain perfect alignment. This reamer works in the same soils as the post hole and core diggers. It works especially well in hardpan and hard packed clay soils. In addition, it works well in both dry and moist conditions.  Finally,  it works well in any soil that the Holey-Moley Diggers and Core Diggers work in.

The Fence Post Hole Reamer will easily cut through most soils and is a perfect companion for the 6-Inch Post Hole Digger.  Because of the its unique design, the EZ Fence Post Hole Reamer easily bores precision 8-⅜ inch diameter holes 4.5 feet deep. Post Hole Digger Vacuum Tube Extensions are available in 30-inch lengths for deeper holes. These are available as accessory items.  The shop vacuum assisted Fence Post Hole Reamer can rapidly ream deep, straight, uniform holes at a rate up to 60 inches a minute depending on the soil type.  It is presently available only in 8-inch diameter. Cat 6 Tools also fabricates unique 10 inch and 12 inch reamers.

EZ Post Hole Reamer Method of Operation

The Post Hole Reamer enlarges 6-inch diameter holes to 8-3/8 inches.  The reamer cuttings fall into the existing 6 inch hole.  As the reamer descends into the hole and comes into contact with the accumulated cuttings near the bottom of the hole the vacuum will suck them up.   EZ Post Hole Reamer operation requires an easy back-and-forth rotational movement of 60 to 75 degrees by hand to loosen the soil. Downward progress is rapid.  Reaming a typical 6-inch hole, 5 feet deep, takes less than a minute.  After reaming, the Shop Vacuum will easily help you clean up the bottom of the hole. It is important to note that once a hole is dug, it is extremely easy to enlarge the hole.  So instead of trying to dig an 8 inch hole from the start, dig a 6 inch hole and then ream it larger.

Assembly of the EZ Fence Post Hole Reamer is fast and simple

The EZ Post Hole Reamer is collapsable.  The vacuum tubing sections are easy to assemble with the 5/16-28 bolts that come in the kit.  A box, open end or Crescent wrench works well for installing the bolts.  Total assembly time is approximately 3 to 4 minutes.

The beauty of this assembly is how small of a space is required to store it.

EZ Fence Post Hole Reamer Options

Option 1 –  Complete Assembly – The EZ Post Hole Reamer consists of heavy gage metal pipe with 8 replaceable metal blades.  A complete Reamer Assembly includes a Handle Assembly, an upper extension tube, lower vacuum tube and the EZ reamer head as shown below.  The easily assembled parts, together with a standard shop vacuum,  becomes a robust, simple to use, hole-enlarging tool.  You will need a Shop Vacuum described in our section on Selecting a Shop Vacuum. We recommend a shop vacuum with 2-1/2″ for best results.  We also have a blog on Digging Holes With A Shop Vac.

Option 2 – Quick Change Head – The interchangeable Lower Assembly includes the Head and Lower vacuum tube.  For those that already have a 6″ Post Hole Digger or a 6″  Post Hole Core Digger, this option easily swaps out with those digger heads and lower vacuum tubes.  This saves purchasing the complete assembly,  All you will need is the Quick Change Head.
