About Us

Initially working in a small family-run welding & engineering supplies business we received a stream of requests for specialist metal drilling tools that didn't exist no matter where we looked.


As we investigated further we discovered that drilling or modifying steel connection holes when limited to the use of portable or hand-held tools seemed to be the biggest pain point in the industry. These challenges would often contribute to missed deadlines and painful project over-runs. If specifications changed at the last minute, fabrication errors were made or emergency repairs were needed, the tools needed to get the job done quickly just didn’t exist in the marketplace.


The industry needed a solution so in response we formed Holemaker Technology with one aim in mind: To speed up metalworking through cutting tool innovation.
Combining our pioneering, impact rated and now patented VersaDrive system with the latest generation of high-torque cordless power tools has created a revolutionary level of drilling speed & performance, never before possible with portable tools.


9 years, around 750,000 tools and a patent or two later, these game-changing products are now sold widely in over 50 countries around the world.
There is a long way still to go and we invite you to join our journey and help us continue to improve and speed up metalworking.
