Core Retrieval Tongs with Locking Grip for 4-inch Cores
The Ultimate Tool for Damage-Free Core Extraction
Introducing the Core Retrieval Tongs with Locking Grip, the most innovative and reliable solution for extracting drilled cores from both asphalt and concrete pavements. This essential tool is engineered to eliminate the common frustrations associated with lifting cores, ensuring a clean and simple retrieval process every time. The integrated locking mechanism provides a firm, secure grip on your 4-inch test specimen, preventing it from slipping and protecting its structural integrity. This makes it the perfect choice for delicate asphalt cores intended for density testing.
Stop Damaging Samples and Wasting Time
Tools designed and built specifically for the retrieval of drilled cores from pavements and other structures can save significant time and prevent costly re-drilling. Drilled cores often need to be "snapped" or broken off at the base before they can be lifted out. These Core Retrieval Tongs are expertly designed to perform this action efficiently and safely, minimizing the risk of damage to the sample.
How It Works: The adjustable top screw allows you to customize the grip pressure on the core's perimeter. Simply lower the tongs into the hole, tighten the screw for a secure hold, and lift. The locking feature ensures the grip remains constant during removal, preventing the sample from breaking or being compromised, which is especially critical when dealing with stubborn or deeply embedded cores.
Features & Benefits:
- Damage-Free Removal: The locking grip protects the sample's integrity, eliminating the need for re-drilling due to damaged specimens.
