Russian Sediment / Peat Borer Kit
The Russian Peat Borer is easy to operate to collect samples at different depths in sediment and wet soils. Designed to take samples below the groundwater level the side filling chamber is inserted into the ground in the closed position and, once the target depth is reached, the handle is turned to capture your sample and closed again.
