Solid with a pointed end, this rod is made of steel. All I did with it was use it as a probe. I assume that it can potentially be used to pry off a manhole cover, even though there is no hook on it.

I like this pokey stick thing very much
5/5

The reviews I've read on other brands of ground pokey stick products say they're all made of fiberglass since they must meet OSHA requirements, and they're not very effective I have a ground pokey stick that is solid metal and has an end that has a nice tip on it. A good way to poke the ground is with it. This is the stick to use if you need to poke the ground with a long stick.

Making holes for bamboo poles (Tomato Cage Supports) is easier with this tool
5/5

The bamboo poles I use for tomato cage supports are bamboo. It used to be my least favorite part of gardening to plant them in the ground since they are so cheap and durable. It used to be easy for me to just make a hole in the ground and shovel the bamboo in. Occasionally, they would slip in easily, but most of the time they were difficult to penetrate very deeply, and I would have to really grit my teeth. After a while, it became grating. Despite the fact that I have no idea what this tool is designed for, it makes the perfect holes for setting bamboo poles in the ground, and it enables me to make With its comfortable handle and solid steel construction, it is easy to handle, and it becomes one with the soil very quickly. Is there anything else that you could want?.

I erred by submitting this
3/5

I did not make the correct choice. There was a part that stated 1/2 inch diameter that I did not see. In most soils, that is far too big for good penetration. You'd do yourself a favor if you got a 1/4 inch probe The diameter of the screw is 5/16. It is also possible for you to Although it seems like a well made product, there are some flaws.

The system is working fine
5/5

During a job site visit, Ben uses these to test soil compaction. Although we had initially ordered three, we wound up getting four more after all because we liked them so much. The construction is solid. The shaft has not bended even though I am putting my full weight on them. If you leave them in the back of a truck in the rain, they won't rust and the red handle covers will hold their color. You might want to check them out.

The product is sturdy and well-made The probe has been made
5/5

It is a sturdy, well-made A tool that has been made. With such a simple tool you can tell that it is made with a high level of After seeing and using it, the price initially seemed high, but knowing that I had made the right decision, I was thrilled I chose it. Despite its name, it performed quite well when thrown into very rocky, clayey terrain Several heavy rains have fallen this week.

As in the photo, mine looked exactly like the one
5/5

My weld bead was just like the one in the photo, but others complained that theirs had a weld bead on the tip. My red handle came with scuff marks as well, but others have complained about it. Upon receipt, it will arrive within a black plastic FedEx bag. It doesn't bother me that it's scuffed because this is a tool for working in dirt, so it will get much dirtier with a little bit of use.

The first time I got it, I did not realize how crucial it was
5/5

Watering is difficult when you live in the desert. As a result, I can now tell when the lemon tree is sufficiently hydrated. As well, I used it to drill holes in areas where water was just running over, getting the water down to the roots instead of just letting it run off. This is an incredibly sturdy device This is a very useful.

This product does exactly what it is supposed to do
5/5

By using this tool, I now have a much better understanding of the effectiveness of clay soils at holding water. My goal is to waste less water this time around.
