Customers say

Customers like the quality, ease of use, and value of the steel probing rod. For example, they mention it's a great tool that holds up very well, and is easy to use. That said, some complain about the tip size. They say it'd be better if the handle was larger, and the threaded tip was smaller.

Customers are dissatisfied with the tip size of the hardware handle. They mention that it seems extremely large diameter to use in anything but soft sand, the handle is too small, and the over-sized threaded tip hardly makes sense. The replaceable tip is larger than the shaft, making it sometimes difficult to remove from the shaft.

Strong but tip is too wide
4 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.
