(OP)
I am looking for a small field hand vane tester for measuring shear strength of soft to firm marine soils. I saw a tester a couple of years ago with the same size vane as the laboratory vane (13 by 13 mm). There are hand vane testers with larger vanes (19 by 28 mm) but I need a smaller vane to sample split cores.

RE: hand vane tester

Humbolt has one

RE: hand vane tester

the absolutely best pocket vane shear tester is made by geotest.  It costs twice as much but is more than twice as good.  It comes with 3 different size vanes depending on the strength of the soil you need to sample.
