From the inventor of the original Soil Profile Sampler comes the new and improved Short Handle Mascaro Profile Sampler.

Built just like the Mascaro Profile Sampler, the sample is extracted and then the cutter blade is simply opened with the aid of a specially designed hinge. No bolts or screws to fumble with when opening sampler. Sample can be viewed instantly and it has the quality you have come to expect from Turf-Tec International.

This well constructed device will take an full depth undisturbed soil profile 7" deep, 3" wide and 1/2" thick, but the shorter handle allows it to be more transportable then the regular Mascaro Profile Sampler. The soil profile sample can be photographed and easily replaced.

Overall length is only 19.5 inches, short enough to fit in most briefcases for travel.  This is an excellent tool to carry on field days and tours.

Sample can be dried and mounted for further reference. Use it for teaching to clearly show the root zone profile and thatch.
