TUSAUW 36-inch Stainless Steel Soil Sample Probe – 3-Piece T-Handle with Foot Pedal, 304 SS Durable Coring Tool

TUSAUW's 36-inch stainless steel soil sample probe is a durable, three-piece coring tool with a T-style handle and foot pedal to extract clean soil cores for testing.

This professional-grade soil sampler is engineered for consistent, repeatable samples across lawns, farms, nurseries and turf management sites. Made from 304 stainless steel and built in three removable sections, the probe reaches deeper than many consumer models while still breaking down for transport and storage. The T-style handle gives good control while the foot pedal and internal pusher speed up insertion and sample removal without crushing the core.

How deep and how long is this soil probe?

The assembled probe measures 36 inches overall, providing a long reach for deeper sampling. It breaks into three pieces for compact transport and can be used as a 23-inch tool when partially disassembled.

• Total assembled length: 36 inches for deeper cores
• Second tube section length: 13.19 inches for modular use
• Core sampling (cutting) section: 9 inches optimized for standard lab tests

What materials and construction ensure durability?

The body and cutting tube are fabricated from 304 stainless steel to resist rust and corrosion during repeated outdoor use. Welds and fittings are designed for field handling and the three-piece splice keeps the tool rigid when assembled yet easy to disassemble without special tools.

• 304 stainless steel construction for long life and rust resistance
• Reinforced T-style handle for secure grip and twisting leverage
• Threaded three-piece design for transport and stable field assembly

How does the foot pedal and pusher improve sampling speed?

The integrated foot pedal lets you apply downward force with your foot, helping the probe penetrate compacted soils without excessive hand strain. Once the core is captured, the internal pusher moves upward to eject the soil sample cleanly for quick collection into bags or jars.

• Foot pedal provides stable downward pressure for easier insertion
• Internal pusher ejects cores without damaging sample integrity
• Reduces time and effort when taking multiple samples across a site

Where is this sampler best used and what soils suit it?

This probe is intended for agricultural, turf, and horticultural sampling rather than breaking rock-hard ground. It works best in moist to firm soils; very dry, cemented or heavily rocky sites will decrease performance and may require pre-soaking or alternate tools.

• Ideal for farms, golf courses, landscaping, lawn care and research plots
• Best performance in loam, clay-loam, silt and cultivated soils
• Not recommended for heavily frozen or extremely rocky soils without preparation

Who is this for? This TUSAUW 36" Soil Sample Probe suits landscape professionals, turf managers, agronomists, extension technicians and serious gardeners who need reliable, repeatable cores for pH, nutrient and texture testing. If you collect multiple samples across a property or need deeper cores than a short hand probe can reach, this stainless steel tool speeds the job while protecting sample quality. For occasional backyard checks that require portability, use the three-piece configuration to shorten and stow the probe conveniently.
