The Pürckhauer gouge auger is a one-piece gouge auger made of tough elastic steel for soil sampling and/or profiling in hard soils. This gouge (earth boring stock) is made out of solid steel, with 28 millimetres outer diameter and with a pressed steel impact head. The plug-in rotary handles are rubber-coated and also serve as groove cleaners.
This auger can be hammered, but only with the included simplex sledgehammers. The drilling depth is 1 metre and the groove width is 18 millimetres inner diameter. This product is suitable for medium and heavy soils.
Because of the minimal disturbance of the sample, the gouge auger is frequently applied in profile research.
