The trade story
Specified to the millimetre, built for the site.
Kiwi As Building Bits came out of one frustration: countersinks and plug cutters sold as afterthoughts, in sizes that never quite matched. A plug that seats proud. A countersink that bottoms out shy. On a finished job, that's a callback waiting to happen.
We started Kiwi As Building Bits because the trade was being let down by generic tooling. Walk into any big-box store and the countersink wall is a grab-bag of imported sizes, none of them paired with a plug cutter that actually fits. A builder ends up fettling plugs by hand or living with a finish that isn't flush — and neither is good enough on a job you're putting your name to.
Matched sizing is the whole point. Every countersink we stock has a plug cutter cut to the same diameter, so the plug seats flush the first time, every time. No sanding, no shimming, no second trip to the store for the "right" size. It's a small thing that saves a finisher hours across a deck, a staircase, or a run of cabinetry — and it's the difference between a job that reads clean and one that reads fudged.
We keep it tight on purpose: two product lines, seven matched sizes, heat-treated steel, stocked locally in Auckland and dispatched within 24 hours. No sprawling catalogue of mediocrity — just the tooling a tradesperson actually reaches for, sized right, built to last, and shipped New Zealand wide with live freight at the checkout.
