Manual stainless steel soil auger – 1 m, 870 mm usable sampling length

This versatile all-stainless-steel manual soil auger is designed to check soil moisture and structure. With a total length of one metre, it offers a usable sampling length of 870 mm, which lets you look much deeper into the soil than the 350 and 650 mm versions in our range. Its outer diameter is 27 mm. It consists of a slotted tube, which shows the soil core taken, and a T-handle.

It is made in our workshop in Moyrazès (Aveyron), entirely in stainless steel, with lifetime-guaranteed welds. Farmers use it to probe their fields, and it is also used to check golf greens and for bailiff soil surveys.
