Good Compact Penetrometer Tester
This is a very simple to use device that comes with instructions printed on a handy case so you never lose them, but honestly, it is very simple to use, just press the tip into the soil until you reach the line on the tip and then read the washer on the gauge. I haven't been able to test this against actual engineered soil borings but if I can I will come back to report and edit this post.

Pocket penetrometer
Great product at a much reduced price from normal survey or engineering supply houses. Same great quality with fast shipping. Carry sheath is a little flimsy but does not detract at all from the quality of the tool.

Very solid product (I think)
The results Iโve received with it seem a little inflated so my confidence in the accuracy is shaky at best. However it seems to work great, providing consistent (even if questionable) results, simple as can be to use, and WAYYY better price than anything else I could find on here. The only reason itโs 4 and not 5 stars is because I havenโt had the opportunity to verify it off more precise measuring methods to see how close they are. If the results are good then itโs 5 stars all day

Good quality, easy to clean, nice case.
I use this for soil testing on geotechnical drilling projects. It works just fine for soil strength. It's sturdy, easy to clean, and comes with a nice durable canvas case. A great addition to any field toolbox!

Works ok but doesn't stand up to a lot of use
Plastic ring that measures strength broke off after 3 months of moderate use.
