Shear Strength Testers are recommended for the rapid determination of shear strength of cohesive soils, for field or laboratory use. The devices are simple to use with sample trimming eliminated, enabling repeatable values in homogenous clays.
Typical applications include determining wall integrity of pits and trenches, readings from Shelby tube and other thin-wall and split core sampling methods, and readings of chunk sample pits, trenches and excavations. The devices are widely used by Safety and OSHA Inspectors, Back Hoe Operators, Field Testing Technicians and Consulting Engineers.
The new metal Shear Vane Device is now in-stock and available for purchase.

The NEW Humboldt H-4212MH Pocket Shear Vane Tester provides a quick and efficient method for determining shear strength values of cohesionless soils. The Pocket Shear Vane is widely used for taking on-site measurements of excavations, including trenches and test pits. It is also used for taking readings from thin-wall or split core soil samples. It can also be used in the laboratory for evaluaitons. The device is widely used by Safety and OSHA Inspectors, Back Hoe Operators, Field Testing Technicians, Consulting Engineers, etc.
The NEW Humboldt Shear Vane Device comes with three vanes, which are easily attached or removed from the device with the included L-wrench. We also include a custom, heavy-duty, nylon bag for storage, which can be quickly attached to your belt with its belt clip, as well as a laminated instructions card, so you always have iinstructions to refer to when doing tests.
The Pocket Shear Vane can be used to gather a large number of readings including those from different failure planes without the need to prepare and trim samples. The device can be used on any reasonably flat surface that is slightly larger than the vane surface being used. The Pocket Shear Vane can be used with fully-saturated, fine-grained soils with an undrained strength independent of normal pressure, including a wide range of clays from soft to stiff consistency. Readings can be made from 0 to 1.0 TSF (1 Kg/cm2). The dial on the unit reads in 0.05 TSF (0.05 Kg/cm2) increments.
