HOMIER 40"(1 Meter) Soil Sampler Probe 304 Stainless Steel with Ejector and Foot Pedal

Love this. Worked well, easy to release the soil sample. Doesn’t take a lot of strength.

Worked good for me. I took at least a dozen samples during the first use. The pedal at the bottom did start to bend slightly even though the ground was not very firm. Also had issue with the stopper loosening, due to the vibration, when taping/pushing the soil sample out, but it was not a big deal to hold the plate and spin the handle around to retighten it every so often. Probably could be fixed by a small weld to hold it in place. For the price compared to the others, it got the job done for me.

I haven't used it yet but looks to be of good quality. only reason for 4 stars

This soil tester is made very well. It’s heavy duty and it goes into the Earth easily. You put it on the soil, use the foot lever to push it down, pull it up, and then there’s a plunger to release the test soil.I have a large flower garden and I have to check the soil for my Dahlias so I’m excited about this product. It’s much more substantial than the small ones you see online.It’s very easy to use and it feels good.I would recommend this product.

I test the soil in my yard every year and it's always been a challenge due to some physical limitations.This product makes it so easy that I took 35 soil samples within about 45 minutes, including time dividing the samples into 3 separate groups/areas.It works best if the soil is damp. The blade part is very sharp and the plunger makes it relatively easy to remove the samples from the tube. You may have to use something like a screwdriver to help push the sample out of the collection tube if dealing with heavy clay.Cleaned the device with a hose and sprayed the cutting area with WD 40. The device is expensive but it works very, very well.

Heavy duty soil probe. For commercial use it gets little heavy to carry around a whole field. does not take full soil core samples. Especially in clay soils. The lever to eject the soil probes works but then the soil sample gets pounded out and is hard to break up. Maybe for home use this is ok but then why not get a much smaller probe.

This soil sampler is strong and easy to use.

I have used it once to take soil samples from three different parcels. It is easy to push the probe into the soil with your foot. The rod that pushes the soil out the bottom of the tube worked great too. All of the parts seem heavy duty and strong. I am using it to test soil from food plots on several parcels of land, so I wanted a tool that would last. It appears I made the right choice.
