The CollarCone is a tough plastic hole cone (hole saver) used to protect the collar and keep loose ground out. It’s designed for mines and quarries that want cleaner holes, steadier collars, and less re-drilling. The cone sits at the top of the hole, blocks drill cuttings, rocks, and water from falling back in, and keeps the opening clear while you work.
This hole cone is injection-moulded, not rotationally moulded. That makes it stronger, more consistent, and up to 20% lighter than other cones on the market . Each size stacks cleanly without sticking because of anti-lock tabs. Downline clips are built into the cone so your line stays put during loading.
Smaller sizes use a closed base for long-term hole retention. Larger cones (230 mm+) have an open bottom so you can load straight through the cone on the bench . All sizes are UV-stabilized, impact-resistant, and easy to see in MTi Green.
Terms & Conditions

How It Works
- A hole cone sits in the collar and forms a clean, stable opening.
- It stops drill cuttings, ravel, and water from dropping back into the hole.
- You protect the collar, keep depth true, and cut down on cleanup or redrill time.
Non-Flammable
Non-Sparking
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ's - Collarcone Hole Saver
What does a hole cone do?
It protects the collar and stops cuttings, rocks, and water from falling into the hole.
Why is the CollarCone injection-moulded?
It makes the cone stronger, more consistent, and up to 20% lighter than rotationally moulded cones .
What’s the difference between open and closed end?
Smaller sizes are closed for long-term retention. Larger sizes have an open end so you can load through the cone.
What does it mean that it is UV-stabilized?
It means it handles tough weather and sun exposure on the bench well. It is resistant to UV light.
Does the hole cone stay visible on the pattern?
Yes. It comes in bright MTi Green for easy spotting across the pit.
Does the CollarCone stack well?
Yes. Anti-lock tabs prevent sticking and allow up to 50% more stack capacity vs competing products.
What are some other names for the COLLARCONE™?
COLLARCONE™ is sometimes referred to as collar protector, drill hole cone, hole saver, blasthole cone, or plastic hole cone, hole plug, among others.
