OVERVIEW

The Slide Hammer is an essential tool for the quick and efficient deployment of HOBOnet Multi-Depth Soil Moisture Sensors. This hammer is used in conjunction with a pilot rod to create holes with the same profile and size as the soil moisture sensor being deployed, eliminating the need for excavation and backfilling of holes.

The slide hammer threads onto the pilot rod and is used to drive the rod into the soil, creating the required profile. Once the rod is removed, the soil moisture sensor can be easily pushed into the soil. After deploying the sensor, the soil will relax around it, filling any gaps and establishing the contact needed for accurate soil moisture measurements.

Features

Quick and Efficient: Facilitates the rapid installation of soil moisture sensors without additional excavation.
Compatibility: Designed to be used with HOBOnet Multi-Depth pilot rods.
Robust Construction: Built with durable materials to withstand tough field conditions.
