I would like to get one and could use some feed back from those that are familiar with their use. Burnham, you just mentioned in the resistograph thread that you use them. What can and can't they do? Are the smaller sizes .169" or .200" large enough to get readable cores? What about the "2-thread" to "3-thread" pros and cons.
I'm thinking this could be a very viable alternative to the Resistograph. I know it is "old school" but there is a lot of history in its use and I'm not particularly stressed by pulling a slightly larger hole and breaking boundaries if it will get me good, readable information. With a clear core I should be able to photograph and have a hard copy fact sheet for the client with a lot less expense.
The core could also be labbed to id any particular decay organisms.
I'm interested in anybody's feedback on experience with these tools.
