Customers say

Customers find the probing rod works well and is easy to use, with good build quality and value for money. The sturdiness and bendability receive mixed feedback - while some find it very strong, others say it's too flimsy, and while some say it doesn't bend easily, others report it bends very easily. The brass finish also gets mixed reviews, with some appreciating its shiny appearance while others note it's not a polished brass finish.

These Polished Brass Escutcheons are by no means polished brass. More like a "brass tone" finish on a steel escutcheon....Read more
Looks very nice and a Great price!Read more
looks good...Read more
Strong but tip is too wide
4 out of 5 stars
Strong but tip is too wide
Very strong and rigid. Shaft doesn’t bend much in hard ground. However, the replaceable tip is larger than the shaft making it sometimes difficult to remove from hard ground. Shaft tip should have been reduced before it was threaded so a tip of equal diameter could’ve been used, making it flush with the shaft. I removed the tip and sharpened the shaft. See before and after modifications which made it much better.

    My husband is going to be adding a deck to our house and needed to locate where the septic tank had been placed. This tool did the job beautifully! He raved about how sturdy it is and how easy it was to get the location of the tank. No more excuses for delaying the building of the deck! LOL :)

    So...first of all, this probe is too long. Next, as others have mentioned, the fat end is a lttle difficult to pull out of the ground at times. The good news, both conditions can be addressed at the same time. I cut about 8-10 inches off the end of the rod, and ground the end of the rod to a point. Both problems solved.
    NOW, it's perfect and worth every penny I spent on it.

    Well made, smooth shaft, & hard steel. As others have pointed out, the over-sized threaded tip hardly makes sense. And as others have done, I cut off the tip and made a pencil point using an angle grinder secured onto a jawhorse.

    Another modification I made was to modify a 1" SDS+ post driver bit to carve out a U channel. The bit mounted onto a hammer drill can then drive the probe almost effortlessly into the ground.

    I used the probe to determine the orientation of an oil tank buried 3 ft below the surface. The probe did the job.

    all welded steel with rubber handle. It looks like it could work, I'm gonna try it out in few days. very fast delivery, thank you! update: worked great. I may have got lucky and just been over the septic I was looking for but it went right in the ground no problems and I was able to map out where the septic tank is. I was surprised it was so easy, I expected problems with the rocky ground here. I'll test it some more in other areas next time I'm out there but it worked great in the soil that covers the septic tank.

    I love this thing. The idiot that put in a sprinkler system over 4 acres without writing anything down on the land and home I just purchased refused to tell me where the pipes were. That's because he was using well water but also tapped into the neighbors city water line. It made no sense that I still had a 10 foot geyser after turning off my well pump. After digging numerous holes between1 and 5 feet deep to trace the pipes trying to find a leak I had had it and ordered this probe. I couldn't be happier. It goes into the damp earth like sliding into fine sand and it has allowed me to find over 400 feet of 1" pipes in just 2 days. The hole digging method was taking its toll on me. I'm a 55 year old Disabled US Army Veteran and digging 3-4 foot holes in 98 degree weather with the Georgia humidity is really not conducive to living well. Anywaythis probe has a detachable screw on pointed tip that I was worried might puncture the lines but you can definitely feel a line through the probe and once you get used to the feeling of sliding through the dirt rocks and pipes feel very different. Man, if I had had this thing a couple of weeks ago it would have saved me from a lot of migraines and misery. Make sure the ground is moist to probe easier. The orange and red clay here in Georgia is difficult to initially penetrate but if you get the area damp prior to probing it's super easy. I love this thing so much I might just buy another.

    Do not get this unless you want it to be super shiny. The product pictures are very misleading. If you want shiny this is the one.

    Found my septic tank in a few seconds rather than digging for hours. Highly recommend. Really tall but stores easily in utility shed.

    Reviewed in Canada on November 22, 2021
    Size: 4 FeetColor: No FinishVerified Purchase
    After ordering my first probe that turned out to be hollow fiber glass I returned it and aimed to find a solid steel probe and this ones the one I found. It will come in handy but im going to remove that cap on the bottom and get someone to sharpen it to a point so its easier to get into the ground. Not sure why they have such a big cap on the tip, it just works against you. Im very happy with it. The solid steel probes are 100% better than those hollow fiber glass type. Fyi, be sure you want a probe 100% before you buy it because that first one was hard to return. Canada post said the box was too big so I cut the box up and duct taped it together as small as I could get it. I think they just felt bad for me when I came back with that mangled box but tgey took it and now I know to be very certain about buying certain bigger than normal items.

    I honestly never knew these existed, but i started treasure hunting and needed a tool to help me limit my digging. The quality is good, its sturdy and breaks through the ground well. I have tested it in my yard but am yet to get out in the field with it. If it helps me find the treasure i will have to find a way to give it 6 stars, hahaha. Will update over time as i use it in different terrains.
