Lichtund 16-Inch Soil Probe T-Handle with Ejector — Stainless Steel, 2 Sample Bags

This compact soil sampler combines durable materials and a simple ejector to gather representative cores without disturbing surrounding soil. Built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and paired with two clear reusable sample bags, the probe helps you collect, store and transport soil for texture, moisture or lab analyses. The T-handle and safety plugs improve control and comfort while the 16-inch shaft reaches deeper root zones than handheld scoops.

How does the T-handle and ejector improve sampling accuracy?

The T-shaped grip gives you steady, two-handed control to insert and withdraw the probe vertically, reducing angled or incomplete cores. The integrated ejector rod pushes the soil core out gently so you can examine layers or transfer samples without smashing them.

• T-handle stabilizes downward pressure for straight cores
• Ejector rod removes samples cleanly for intact profiles
• Sealed black plugs protect hands and cover sharp edges

What makes the stainless steel construction worthwhile?

The probe is crafted from high-grade stainless steel that resists rust and stays rigid during repeated use. That durability preserves the probe's mouth shape for consistent core diameters and keeps maintenance minimal.

• Corrosion-resistant finish for wet soil conditions
• Rigid shaft prevents bending when probing dense spots
• Low maintenance: wipe clean and store dry

Which soils and tasks is this sampler best for?

This tool works well in unfrozen, non-baked soils — typical garden beds, lawns, turf and potted mixes. It’s intended for collecting cores to evaluate texture, moisture content and to send to testing labs for nutrient or pH analysis.

• Home gardens, lawns, flower beds and small farms
• Pre-test before fertilizing or amending soil
• Collecting deeper samples around root zones up to 16 inches

How do I collect, store and transport samples with the included bags?

The probe comes with two reusable, transparent sample bags sized for a single core each. Place the extracted core into a bag, seal it, and label with location and depth for lab submission or record keeping.

• Transparent sides let you inspect layering and moisture
• Reusable for multiple sampling spots on the same day
• Sized for easy hand-carry or laboratory drop-off

Who is this for: Gardeners, turf managers, landscapers and hobby agronomists who need a durable, easy-to-use soil coring tool for routine monitoring and pre-treatment testing. If you want a compact probe that reaches deep root zones, produces clean cores and includes transport-ready sample bags, this Lichtund sampler is built for practical field and backyard use.
