Impact MK3 Soil Sampler

Description

It has always been said that if a tool can successfully and repeatedly take samples from a Cricket Square it can generally take a sample from anywhere!

In late 2014 this tool undertook a huge update to the design, adding new reinforcing points to the blade top and an overhaul of the supporting frame.
Getting a true picture of your soil profile is essential, but it’s often ruined by the sampling tool itself. Traditional samplers can smudge or compress the core as it’s extracted, making proper analysis difficult. The Impact MK3 Soil Sampler solves this with a simple, effective split-frame design.

Once you’ve driven the sampler into the ground, the frame unlatches and splits into two halves. This allows you to open the tool and lift the soil core out cleanly, with no dragging, smudging, or damage to the soil layers. You get a perfect, undisturbed cross-section every time, ready for immediate inspection.

Originally developed in-house with Chris Wood of the ECB, this design was tested and proven by professional cricket pitch inspectors. This MK3 version includes further refinements for even greater durability and ease of use in compacted ground. It’s a no-nonsense tool for professionals who need accurate results with less effort.

Specifications:

Sample Hole Diameter: 5.08 cm (2 inches)
Sample Hole Depth: 20.32 cm+ (Just over 8 inches)
Construction: Split-frame design with reinforced blade top
Weight: 4 kg

Please note: This tool must be used with a dedicated nylon-faced mallet (like our TB5210 or TB5220) to ensure longevity and best performance.

How It Works
Position the Impact Sampler on the desired area of turf.
Using a nylon-faced mallet, drive the sampler into the ground to your required depth.
Remove the sampler from the ground.
Unlatch the frame, allowing it to split into two halves.
Carefully remove the intact soil core for inspection.
