In addition, most PowerProbe models can be fitted with hollow stem augering capabilities.

The Beginning

Art Vollweiler opened the doors of Art`s Machine Shop over 80 years ago and following a simple philosophy, created the cornerstone from which growth and development has exploded. “Everything is a Work of Art" was this philosophy. He considered every AMS product a direct reflection on him, so every design was developed with purpose and longevity in mind.

As time passed, AMS’s product line expanded as Art`s reputation for innovation grew. When the Soil Conservation Service of the United States government asked Art to develop a tool for sampling soil, Art took the task seriously. The soil auger design from that project is still in use today. Over the next few years, a complete line of hand sampling equipment, including soil augers, hammer driven samplers, specialty shovels, and accessory items, were developed.
