When you encounter particularly difficult soils, you may be forced to pound your sampling tube into the ground. Whatever you do, don’t resort to a metal sledge hammer! Your JMC equipment is not designed to withstand that kind of abuse. When faced with hard ground conditions, we recommend our soft-faced, dead-blow hammer.

Our soft-faced, dead-blow hammer won’t damage your JMC T-Handle or JMC Driveable Auger Handgrip. The 1.75 pound, shot-loaded head delivers 30% more striking power than ordinary mallets. It also absorbs shocks, reducing operator fatigue.

Reminder: This hammer should only be used on the JMC T-Handle or JMC Driveable Auger Handgrips. All other JMC Handles have hollow handgrips which will collapse if struck repeatedly with this or any other mallet.
