When it comes to construction, one of the safety measures that contractors and engineers usually take is initiating probing operations. With this activity, every utility line can be located, even if it is buried deep beneath the grounds surface. Determining the locations of utility lines will prevent them from getting damaged and eliminate the possibility of dangerous accidents. However, with the use of a regular probe, hard grounds will be difficult to penetrate. For this reason, the most ideal probe to bring to any probing operation is the T&T Tools 48″ Striking Head Probe with 3/8″ Standard-Duty Shaft SPL48.

Designed to be struck with a maul, this probe can easily break through the ground, whether it is frozen or tightly packed. No matter how often this probe is used, it will neither bend nor break because of its highly durable alloy steel construction. Since every part that makes up this probe is heat-treated, it can endure years of rigorous and regular use. With its length of 48 inches, finding deeply buried lines and pipes with the use of this probe wont be that difficult.

The hexagonal head of this probe is designed to withstand strikes from a maul. Aside from its durable construction, it adds 3 pounds to the overall weight of the probe so that penetrating extremely hard grounds, including frosted ones, will be easier. With a width of 2 inches, it conveniently accommodates the size of mauls. A probe with this durable head can be pierced through any kind of ground, no matter how impenetrable it seems.

Since the handle of this probe measures 1 inch in diameter and 11 inches in length, holding it with either bare or gloved hands will be fine. This ergonomic design provides a tighter grip when probing and, at the same time, makes the task less strenuous. In addition to this, the grips on the handle are made of smooth vinyl to provide comfort to its users, even while forcefully driving the probe into the ground. With a handle like this, probing wont take a toll on the hands of users.

The handle is threaded to the 3/8-inch shaft of the probe so that the assembly is more secure and the parts can be replaced as well. The shaft is also threaded, allowing accessories, like a coupler or an extension, to be attached.

At the end of the probe, a tip made of alloy steel can be found. With the tips tapered edges, the probe can be smoothly driven in and out of the ground.

Given these points, the T&T Tools 48″ Striking Head Probe with 3/8″ Standard-Duty Shaft SPL48 is, without a doubt, the best tool for probing operations. This product is available for order here on Engineer Warehouse.
