Victory Soil Sampler 7/8 inch

When you need a quick, clear picture of what’s happening beneath the turf, the Victory Soil Sampler is the tool for the job. It’s a straightforward, pocket-sized sampler that lets you inspect root depth, thatch, and soil moisture without needing to head back to the shed. The hardened tip and tapered, no-block design mean it goes in easy and the core comes out clean. It’s a simple, robust tool for making informed decisions on the fly.

We designed this for greenkeepers and groundsmen who need practicality above all else. The full tube allows for complete core extraction, giving you an undisturbed profile to analyse. It even includes depth measurements, so you can take consistent samples every time. It’s the kind of no-nonsense tool that ends up being used every day.

Built here in our UK workshop, it’s a solid piece of kit designed to handle daily use. It’s a favourite with grounds teams at professional venues like Sussex Cricket Club, where a quick and accurate soil check is essential.

FAQ

Q: What is the core diameter?

A: The sampler takes a 7/8 inch (22mm) diameter core.

Q: Is it tough enough for hard ground?

A: It features a hardened steel tip designed for good penetration, but for very compacted or stony ground, a heavier-duty sampler like our Impact model might be more suitable.

Q: Does the soil get stuck inside?

A: The tube has a slight internal taper, which is designed to prevent the core from getting blocked and makes it easier to remove.
