Basic sampling kits provide everything you'll need to auger to a target depth as deep as 12ft and obtain a relatively undisturbed soil core sample for soil testing. The kits are used worldwide by construction companies, consultants and engineering firms for site investigations. They are available with 58" threaded components with either 2-14" or 3-14" augers. Each kit comes with (1) regular, (1) mud, and (1) sand auger. The kits also include (3) 4' extensions, (1) 18" rubber-coated cross handle, (1) regular slide hammer, (1) core sampler (1-12" x 6" or 2" x 6"), (1) plastic liner, (2) plastic end caps, (1) cleaning brush, (1) universal slip wrench, and (2) cresent wrenches. All the components fit securely in a foam-lined, poly-reinforced deluxe carrying case with handles and wheels for added portability.

These soil auger kits are complete, compact setups for augering to depths of 12' or 16'. Soil auger kits include (1) regular and (1) mud auger, (4) extensions, an 18" rubber-coated cross handle, and a flexible, poly-canvas carrying case for easy transport and storage. These are supplied with quick-connect connections.

Auger, Cross-Handle, 16" RatchetingRatcheting cross handle allows for faster augering times. Available inquick-connect, button-and-hex coupling system and threaded coupling.

Cross handle with threaded connections use standard, national course, threads. 58" connections and are the most common and least expensive handle attachment method.

The regular auger bit is designed for ordinary soil sampling. Quick-connect, button-and-hex coupling system allows components to connect and disconnect faster and with less hassle than threaded systems. Quick-connect connections, are not compatible with slide hammers. Bucket augers offer outstanding durability and allow access to deeper depths. Heat treated, high carbon steel bits with tungsten carbide hard-surfaced edges. Bits are welded to a stainless steel cylinder, topped with a carbon steel ball.

Set includes a 3.25" windowed, auger head of zinc-plated steel, auger T-handle, 36" (914mm) auger extension and (2) Quick-release Connector Pins.

For use in sampling soils, auger has 1.5" dia. x 4" long (38mm x 102mm) spiral-type auger bit. Features graduation marks every 6" (152mm). Overall length is 36" (914mm), including handle. Screw-on handle permits attachment of H-4251 extension for sampling beyond 36" depths.

Slide hammers are used for easier penetration and extraction of soil samplers and probes. The Hammer consists of steel tubing that slides over a hardened steel rod, which is threaded to 58" NC to accommodate drive rods and extensions. Soft, baked-on rubber coating and ball-grip handle reduces shock to operator's hands and increases comfort.
