Slide Hammer

Percussive Driving System for Soil Sampling

The Slide Hammer is a robust manual driving tool designed to provide additional percussive force for soil sampling in medium to firm ground conditions. Used with compatible gouge augers, liner samplers and Russian peat corers, it enables samplers to be driven more effectively into compact soils and to greater sampling depths.

Its simple, heavy-duty construction makes the Slide Hammer well suited to demanding environmental, geotechnical and soil investigation work where manual pushing alone is insufficient.
