Drive heads are essential components in soil sampling operations, particularly when using drilling rigs or equipment that require forceful penetration into the ground. They play a crucial role in facilitating the insertion of sampling tools and tubes into the soil, aiding in both the collection of soil samples and the advancement of boreholes. Drive heads are versatile and come in various designs to accommodate different soil conditions and sampling methods.

Drive heads are used to provide the necessary force and energy to advance sampling tools into the ground. Whether it's a split spoon sampler, core barrel, or auger, the drive head transfers the rotational or percussive motion from the drilling rig to the sampling tool, aiding its penetration into the soil.
