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.

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.
