Our JMC Conventional Handle fits a variety of soil sampling tubes. Each tube features a self-sharpening tip that outlasts common replaceable tips eight to one and pull consistently good cores.

We have 6 kinds of tubes to offer for this option:

Wet Sampling Tubes.
Work best in soft, moist soils. Core diameter is 0.688 inches.
Dry Sampling Tubes.
Work best in hard, dry soils. Core diameter is 0.75 inches.
(If you just want one tube, get one of these,)
Ag Consultant's Sampling Tube.
Same design as the Dry Tubes, but produces a core diameter of only 0.56 inches.
Large Diameter Sampling Tube.
Same design as the Dry Tubes, but produces a core diameter of 1.2 inches.
Zero Contamination Tube.
Gathers samples uncontaminated by surface debris encased in clear, replaceable, plastic liners. Samples measure 1.2 inches in diameter.
Concentric Sampling Tube
Gathers samples in plastic liners like the Zero Contamination Tube, but the samples measure 2 inches in diameter and 6 inches long. Also features a metal casing which can be left in the ground for later retrieval.
