Heavy Duty Split-Frame Soil Sampler – 2" (5.08cm) x 20.32cm Cross-Section Cores for Cricket Pitches & Compacted Ground
A heavy duty soil sampler, originally designed for and used by cricket pitch inspectors, that takes cross-section soil samples even in the hardest and most compacted ground conditions. Each sample is 5.08cm (2") in diameter and 20.32cm (just over 8") deep.
Key Features
- Split frame design: the supporting frame splits into two halves, so samples can be removed easily without damage
- No blade removal needed: no more physically pulling up on the blades to view the sample
- Clean sample extraction: prevents smudging, distortion or damage to the soil core
- Efficient operation: takes significantly less time and effort than traditional samplers
- Increased strength and durability: new reinforcing points on the blade tops and a completely overhauled supporting frame
- Professional construction: built for durability and consistent performance
Redesigned Frame
The redesigned frame splits into two halves. When you take a sample, you simply split the frame to view the soil core inside, instead of pulling up on the blades. This greatly reduces distortion or smudging of the sample and removes all the physical effort of separating the blades from the tool.
Specifications
- Sample hole diameter: 5.08cm (2")
- Sample hole depth: 20.32cm (just over 8")
- Design: split frame construction
Technical Information
- Assembly: minimal, ready to use out of the box
- Maintenance: clean after use, store in dry conditions and maintain the blades regularly
- Safety: handle with care due to sharp edges
Please note: this sampler must only be used with a dedicated nylon-faced mallet, such as our dead blow mallet. A mallet of this type increases the lifetime of the sampler and greatly reduces physical strain on the operator.
