The Hammer Probe is a heavy-duty slide hammer soil probe engineered for professionals who need to penetrate hard, compact, or frozen ground where standard probes can’t reach.


Unlike traditional probes that require a mallet, the integrated slide hammer mechanism drives the probe smoothly into dense soils — improving efficiency, safety, and control on every job.

WARNING!

The Slide Hammer Probe DOES NOT provide protection from electrical shocks.  For insulated capabilities, please refer to the Mighty Probe(tm).


What Is A Hammer Probe? Features & Benefits

  • Integrated Slide Hammer Soil Probe: The built-in slide hammer eliminates the need for a separate striking tool.
  • Ideal for Hard Surfaces: Perfect for frozen soil, clay, or packed ground where a regular soil probe tool may bend or fail.
  • High-Strength Alloy Steel Shaft: Manufactured from ½-inch hardened steel alloy, the Hammer Probe shaft resists bending, bowing, and fatigue, ensuring durability.
  • Ergonomic Dual-Handle Design: Dual 16" handles provide better grip, stability, and reduced strain.
  • Safety-Driven Construction: The slide hammer head minimizes pinch points and reduces vibration shock, keeping operators safe during prolonged use.
  • Easy Maintenance & Replacement Parts: Threaded head and shaft for secure connection. Compatible with Hammer Probe Handles and Probe Tip Packs.
