A soil probe is the fastest way to pull a small, repeatable core by hand. Pick it by what the lab needs. Quick shallow slices: the open end soil probe, with a 15 in. slot cut to the end for easy emptying, or the step probe (33 or 40 in.), whose built-in step takes foot pressure. Intact cores: soil recovery probes with the Reach-&-Grab liner system and dual-purpose recovery probes with a 7 in. sample window, both 12 or 24 in. long with a 5/8 in. thread for a slide hammer. Heavy, repeated sampling: the 1 1/4 in. replaceable tip probe. Lawns: the turf probe takes a 5/8 x 7 in. plug. Bodies are nickel-plated chromoly, with stainless options on the recovery probes.
Soil probe FAQ
Probe, auger or core sampler?
A probe is for shallow, quick, repeat sampling. A hand auger reaches deeper and handles harder ground, and a core sampler takes a longer, undisturbed core. Start with the lightest tool that reaches your depth in your soil, and move up only when it stops.
Which probe for VOC or PFAS sampling?
For volatiles, a liner-type recovery probe or a dual-purpose probe with a sample window, because US EPA Method 5035 calls for minimally disturbed, non-homogenized samples. For PFAS, the EPA guidance cited in our soil probe guide recommends stainless steel, HDPE, polypropylene or silicone. Confirm containers with your laboratory.
What if the ground is too hard?
Use a recovery or dual-purpose probe: their 5/8 in. threaded top takes a slide hammer, which a plain hand probe does not. The step probe lets you add foot pressure in firmer ground.
