Soil Recovery Augers

Use this soil auger to auger and collect soil core samples at the same time.

The AMS soil recovery auger is a special dual-purpose tool that allows the user to auger an access hole to a desired depth. After reaching the sampling point, the user may then insert a liner into the soil recovery auger to collect a soil core sample. This versatile soil auger AND sampler can be used for soil profiling, particle distribution and environmental site investigations.

Includes: soil recovery auger cylinder with either tungsten carbide hard-surfaced carbon steel or stainless steel bits, a hollow, stainless steel top cap with a bail attached and a stainless steel solid-vented top cap, plastic liner, plastic end caps, and a universal slip wrench. NOTE: Available in stainless steel. But stainless steel bits are not hard surfaced.

• Compatible with 5/8" threaded extensions and cross handles.

• The liners used are 1/4" smaller diameter than the sampler cylinder.

• Specially shaped auger bits cut and lift the soil into the liner, rather than tearing through the soil

Please make sure any AMS samplers you intend to use together share a common connection type.
