BARKTAX – BARK GAUGE
BARKTAX – BARK GAUGEBark thickness and texture vary greatly between different tree species. The bark can be everything from several centimeters thick, to just a fine layer. To perform a measurement of stem diameter over bark can be difficult and can show significantly greater values than of the wood below bark. It is important to know just how thick the layer of bark is on the tree or log. Diameter Measuring.
Borer Starter
Borer StarterThe Haglöf Sweden borer starter can be used to improve the drilling process when working with increment borers, and to obtain better quality cores, also in frozen wood and hardwood. The borer starter helps the user to maintain a straight angle when drilling.
CORETAX – INCREMENT HAMMER
CORETAX – INCREMENT HAMMERThe Increment Hammer is a rugged and field adapted tool used to determine tree growth in past few years. With the pointed end inserted in the stem, a small sample can be extracted from the hollow pipe ejector. To quickly read the sample, the Increment Hammer has a graduation up to 5 cm/2″. The hammer is made from durable steel with plastic handle, ejector with brass details and carrying string.
DJOS INCREMENT BORER
DJOS INCREMENT BORERIn 2010, the classic Djos borer brand was incorporated to the Haglöf Sweden increment borer manufacturing. The Djos borer handles are orange and the borer bit has a special back-threading, preferred by many operators when backing out of the tree.
- The Djos style borer bits are produced with hardened high quality Swedish steel
- Produced in a high precision grinding machine that gives all borers the same high quality
- The borer bits has been PTFE-coated for reduced friction and enhanced protection against corrosion
- The borer bit tip is polished and has the classic original Djos conical shape with back-threading for easy backing out of wood
- Reinforced borer handles with plastic coating allow for protection, good grip and visibility.
- The stainless steel core extractors are individually controlled for exact fit
Djos borers are manufactured in selected lengths and as 3-threaded borers.
HAGLOF FACTOR GAUGE
HAGLOF FACTOR GAUGEThis factor gauge is made from transparent plastic and with bevelled edges for optimal spotting and accuracy.
HAGLOF INCREMENT BORER
HAGLOF INCREMENT BORERHAGLOF INCREMENT BORER
HAGLOF INCREMENT BORERLength
Borers are available from 100 mm or 4” up to 1000 mm or 39”.
For optimal penetration depth, the borer bit should be approximately one half to three quarters of the tree’s diameter.
Core Diameter
Standard core diameters are 4.3 mm or 5.15 mm (0.169” and 0.200”).
10 and 12 mm diameter borers are available in assorted lengths and are mainly used for quantitative analyses where large samples are necessary.
Threading
Borers are available as either 2 or 3-threaed borer bit. 2-threaded borers are recommended for hardwood. 3-threaded borers are the most popular, since they will be easier to work with and engage faster in the wood.
Borer tip
The borer tip with thread has an unique convex arc-shape to easily penetrate and cut the tree fibre.
Coating
The increment borer bits are treated and protected with PTFE-coating which reduces friction and protects against corrosion.
Extractor
The extractors are made of stainless steel and designed to extra easily pull out wooden cores.
Complete increment borer
A complete increment borer includes the handle, a borer bit and an extractor in selected length and model. Borer bits and extractors can be purchased separately.
HAGLOF SHARPENING KIT
HAGLOF SHARPENING KITSharpening kit for Haglöf Sweden increment borers. Kit includes sharpening stone, whetstone, beeswax, oil and/or sand. The wax can be used to protect the borer bit tip, and for lubrication.
HAGLOF SOILTAX – SOIL SAMPLER
HAGLOF SOILTAX – SOIL SAMPLERHaglöf Sweden Soiltax soil sampler is a convenient and simple tool in walking stick model used to sample and control ground conditions for plantations, resistance and other sampling of Soil
The Soiltax soil samplers are made from solid steel in 7 or 9 dm sampler length.
HAGLOF TREE CORE READER
HAGLOF TREE CORE READERThe Haglöf Tree Core Reader is a field instrument that has been developed in cooperation with a leading European forest research institute.
The Tree Core Reader serves to perform field analysis work of tree core samples. By examining the core in this high quality optic lens, the user can determine the age and conditions of the tree, its growth and increment, all based on the extracted wood core sample examinations. The Tree Core Reader is field adapted, has high quality optics and is suitable for standard size cores up to 5.15mm diameter and 120mm/5″ long.
INCREMENT BORER HOLSTER
INCREMENT BORER HOLSTERThis leather holster suits belts up to 50mm/2″ width and allows you to keep your increment borer assembled and conveniently out of the way while moving in the forest.

THREADING
- Haglöf increment borers are 2- or 3 threaded.
- 2-threaded borers are recommended when drilling in hardwood, with a slower penetration in the wood and less friction and stress onto the material.
- 3-threaded borers will penetrate the wood faster and is suitable for most types of wood.
