Get the job done with Holemaker drill bits and magnetic drills
When you're drilling steel, stainless or cast iron on site, you need gear that cuts clean and fast without bogging down. Holemaker builds annular cutters, the Holemaker magnetic drill and accessories that handle heavy-duty metalwork, whether you're a fabricator, fitter, or sparkie working with cable tray and switchboards.
The ITM Holemaker Pro 35 is a compact magnetic drill that's built for portability without sacrificing grunt. It's ideal for drilling overhead, on beams or in tight spots where a standard pedestal drill won't fit. Pair it with the brand's annular cutters, and you'll punch holes faster than twist drills, with less heat and smoother finishes.
The drill bits stay sharp longer when you maintain them properly. The Holemaker annular cutter sharpener keeps your cutters in top nick, so you're not chewing through new bits every few jobs. You can also grab Pro 35 parts to keep your drill running when wear and tear catches up.
Tool Kit Depot stocks the full range across our stores and online, so you can grab what you need when the job calls for it.

Holemaker FAQ
What is a Holemaker annular cutter used for?
An annular cutter removes a ring of material rather than drilling out the entire hole, which makes it faster and cooler when cutting through steel, stainless or aluminium. It's ideal for drilling large diameter holes in structural steel, machinery frames, cable tray and pipework. Tradies use them with magnetic drills for clean, burr-free holes in metal fabrication, fit-out work and on-site steel construction.
How do I sharpen Holemaker annular cutters?
You can sharpen your cutters using the annular cutter sharpener, which grinds the teeth back to a sharp edge without removing too much material. Regular sharpening extends cutter life and keeps drilling fast and clean. If you're running cutters hard on site, keeping a sharpener handy saves you money and downtime compared to constantly buying new bits.
What's the difference between the Holemaker Pro 35 and other magnetic drills?
The Pro 35 is a compact, lightweight model that's easy to move around site and set up in awkward positions. It's got enough magnetic hold and motor power for most fabrication and installation work, without the bulk of larger rigs. It's a solid choice for sparkies, fitters and steel workers who need portability but still want reliable performance when drilling through thick plate or beam sections.
Can I use Holemaker drill bits with other brands of magnetic drills?
Yes, the drill bits and annular cutters fit standard magnetic drill chucks, so you can use them across most brands. Just make sure your drill's arbor size matches the cutter shank, usually 19mm or 32mm depending on the model. The cutters work with DeWalt, Milwaukee, and other magnetic base drills as long as the fitment's right.
Where can I get Holemaker Pro 35 parts?
Tool Kit Depot stocks spare parts for the Pro 35, including brushes, arbors, and other wear items. If you need a specific part, check with your local store or online, and we can often order in what you need to keep your drill running. Regular maintenance and timely part replacement keeps the Pro 35 working reliably for years.
