Our spring-loaded thumb press log inoculation tools are perfect for injecting sawdust spawn into holes drilled on logs. Designed for single-hand use, these tools allow the other hand to steady the log during inoculation. With regular cleaning and proper storage, they should last for many years.

Choose from two grip styles:

• Ribbed Anti-Slip Handle: Designed to decrease friction that causes blistering
• Curved Ergonomic Handle: Designed to decrease movement for increased comfort

*Tool handle colors may vary

Caring for your inoculation tool:

Sawdust spawn residue can build up in your tool, making it feel sticky or causing the plunger to freeze. If this happens, soak in hot soapy water for 30 minutes, then push down on the head of the tool to loosen any debris. 

Periodically check the head of the tool to make sure it is not coming unscrewed. The tool can be tightened by using a large flat head screwdriver. Insert the screwdriver into the groove on the tip, hold onto the head and lightly twist the screwdriver until tight.
