With this Soil Sampler Kit, undisturbed soil samples can be taken in a liner applying a stainless steel core sampler with sample tubes and cutting head. In soft soils the sampler is pressed into the soil, possibly using the push-/pull handle.

The kit contains, among other things: a hand auger for pre- and clean boring of the bore hole, the core sampler with the sampler tubes and soil sample containers and maintenance equipment. By using sample liners it is easy to remove the sample from the tube. The sample, still in the liner, is stored in a container which can be sealed, for transport to the laboratory.
