The CoreSnap™, allows you to remove a drilled sample from a roadbed at or below the tackline without prying or drilling completely through the old roadbed. Available in 4- or 6-inch models, the CoreSnap™ works quite simply.

The CoreSnap™, allows you to remove a drilled sample from a roadbed at or below the tackline without prying or drilling completely through the old roadbed. Available in 4- or 6-inch models, the CoreSnap™ works quite simply. Place the CoreSnap™ so it seats down over a normally cut core and tighten the binding bolt with a 1/2" drive socket/ratchet. Then, a quick lateral motion of the handle breaks the core sample away from the older mat beneath, allowing the core to be removed easily. It's a snap! For years, coring asphalt required drilling the core to be sampled by drilling completely through the existing roadbed into the gravel underbed and trimming off the top to be tested. In many cases this also required a prying tool to extract the core, which normally damages the core sample. These methods are very labour intensive and require excessive drilling causing undue wear to drill bits. The CoreSnap™ not only reduces labour costs involved in core removal, but also reduces core bit usage and costs because drilling through the old roadbed is not required.
