Treehouse Attachment Bolt Install Drill Bit - Tree Fort Hardware
Install Tree Fort Treehouse Attachment Bolts (TABs) faster with one purpose-built bit. We’ve combined our Auger Bit and Forstner Bit, and Custom Pilot Bit into one powerhouse: the Tree Fort Install Bit. This custom-made bit eliminates the need to swap between tools mid-install, streamlining the process of installing Tree Fort Attachment Bolts. The design of the Auger bit is set specifically for Tree Fort TABs.
Designed exclusively by Nelson Treehouse, the Tree Fort Install Bit cuts clean, efficient holes into the host tree. This single tool combines the two step installation process into one simple step: The ¾ auger with an integrated cutting tooth drills the hole for the threaded arm of the Tree Fort TAB and creates space for the shank of the TAB. While the integrated forstner creates a 2" diameter hole for the "boss" to be securely anchored into the sapwood of the tree. A depth mark is etched on the shaft of Tree Fort Install Bit for proper boss embedment of the TAB, at the recommended 3” past the bark of the tree.
Whether you’re a first-time builder or a seasoned pro, this bit will save you time and effort on every install.
