Pour un forage de quelques mètres de profondeur, on pourra utiliser un outil manuel appelé «sonde de Palissy» qui comprend une tige carrée en acier, de 2 cm de côté, aux extrémités de laquelle sont fixés un trépan d’une part, une cuillère de l'autre. La rotation de l'outil est assurée manuellement par la manœuvre d’un manche transversal appelé tourne à gauche monté sur la barre d’acier. La cuillère fonctionne comme une tarière, le sol étant emprisonné à l'intérieur. Le trépan sert à désagréger certaines couches de sol plus dur. 1, record 1, French, - sonde%20de%20Palissy

Les tarières simples comprennent des matériels de taille et de performance très variées. Il existe des tarières légères portatives(tarière à main ou petite mototarière) et du matériel plus lourd(tarière montée sur camion ou chenille). La tarière est enfoncée par rotation à l'aide d’un train de tiges. La rotation et la forme hélicoïdale de la tarière permettent son introduction dans le sol. Lorsque la tarière est retirée, les sols forés piégés entre les spires de l'hélicoïde peuvent être remontés en surface. Comme pour le carottier, la tarière simple doit être remontée après chaque passe pour être débarrassée des sols avant d’être réintroduite dans le trou de forage. 1, record 4, French, - tari%C3%A8re%20simple

Les tarières simples comprennent un outil hélicoïdal fixé au bout d’un train de tiges. Les tarières continues sont des vis sans fin, constituées de tiges hélicoïdales assemblées bout à bout. Les tarières permettent de forer à moindre coût dans des terrains meubles et ne comportant pas de blocs. [...] L’avantage de cette technique par rapport à la tarière simple est qu’il n’est pas nécessaire de remonter l’outil après chaque passe car les sols sont remontés en continu le long des spires grâce au mouvement ascendant de l’hélicoïde généré par la rotation. 1, record 4, French, - tari%C3%A8re%20simple
