Sliding Ground Rod
Sliding Ground Rod
The integrated Sliding Ground Rod simplifies putting a ground rod into difficult soils. It is self-contained, easy to use, carry and store. The handle slides up and down on the single piece ground rod shaft, driving it into or out of the ground. Electronic locating equipment can connect to the shaft allowing the shaft to work as a grounding device.
The sliding handle has been specifically designed to reduce the risk of injury by minimizing the number of pinch points.
All internal pieces of the head assembly are manufactured from high strength, impact resistant tool steel. This steel is designed for minimum distortion, ensuring a long lasting tool.
The Sliding Ground Rod can be ordered powder coated or plastisol dipped for comfort.

Handle:
- Sturdy 1.5” diameter steel tube

What Is a Rod Coupler?
The main function of a rod coupler is to extend probe and hammer tools to test deeper underground. Our T&T coupler suits various probe models and sizes. Whether you have the Mighty Probe, the Smart Stick or the Striking Head probe, we have a rod coupler style to fit the shaft.
To ensure quality and longevity, we prioritize:
- Stellar workmanship: We only use quality materials to create tools that last for years.
- Innovative designs: We offer unique styles for our rod couplers to cater to different probe tools.
- Safety features: We incorporate safety into all our products through usage of relevant materials and ergonomic designs.
Couplers for Different Probes
At T&T Tools, we provide a collection of tools that cater to specific needs — and the same is true for our extension rod couplers. We have three options for the coupler, each of which is compatible with a particular probe dimension. Keep in mind that these couplers come in a single piece and are not sold in packs.
Choose from the following products:
- C1-R coupler: This style is for round and hex rod types with 3/8" or 7/16" dimensions — it can fit the 3/8" Mighty Probe round tool.
- C1-X coupler: Connect this tool to rods with round and hex shapes. The diameter of the rod shaft should be 3/8" or 7/16", meaning it can fit the Mighty Probe hex tool in either of these sizes.
- C2 coupler: Add this coupler to 1/2" round shafts to extend the rods.
