Description
Extendable Tile Probes are available in two (2) different diameters (7/16” & 5/8”). Those are the diameters of Tile Probe Extensions. The diameter of the Replaceable Tips for the 7/16” version is .560” and the 5/8” version is .875”. Extendable Tile Probes are also available in two (2) different lengths as well (36” & 48”). They can be extended if necessary, meaning that multiple 3’ or 4’ Tile Probe Extensions may be connected to accomplish greater depths.
Extendable Tile Probes include replaceable Extendable Tile Probe Tips (optional Rounded Safety Tile Probe Tips are available upon special request), 3’ or 4’ Tile Probe Extension Rods, 5/8” Male Thread to 7/16” National Fine Female Adapter, and a 10” Cross Handle with comfortable grips. They are constructed of un-plated, high carbon, stress-relieved steel. For accomplishing deeper depths, or where compacted soil may be present, an optional Regular or Compact Slide Hammer may be used. Slide Hammers offer a simple method for soil penetration by allowing the user to push or drop the hammer weight down the slide rod to apply force to the extension strand. Slide Hammers also provide reverse hammering capabilities for easy removal from the ground.
