Hex Rods & Drill Steel
Heat-treated hexagonal drill rods in standard lengths for mining and construction.
Precision Drill Steel
Hex drill rods are the backbone of percussion drilling, transmitting rotational torque and impact energy from the drill to the bit. Our heat-treated hex rods are manufactured to deliver consistent performance and long service life in demanding mining conditions.
We supply standard hex rod sizes in a range of lengths, with heat treatment optimised for hardness and wear resistance. All rods are manufactured from quality steel with full material traceability.
