Time Saver, Effective and Efficient

I can't stress enough how valuable this tool is for us. We've gone through at least 5 bags of sawdust spawn before I decided to get a sawdust spawn inoculation tool. I should have purchased one sooner, we've saved so much time with this one upgrade. It really is a must have if you plan to do a bunch of logs and go through multiple bags of spawn.

There is only thing I can think of that would make this tool better for us, having two!

Wo true Andrew! It really is a time saver. Thanks for the great review!

Nicely made in construction and heft of hand.

Very fast

I would have preferred a wooden handle, but it’s hard to find a fault. It’s much faster then doing plugs, and nice having the ability to do sawdust and plugs.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a detailed review, Jason! We so appreciate the feedback.

A must have!

I couldn’t imagine trying to inoculate logs without this tool. So far went through 3 bags of sawdust spawn with zero issues! No sticking or clogging.

Thanks for sharing, TJ! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Sawdust spawn thumb press

If you want grow mushrooms on log you must have one this. It makes your life much easier. But if your thumb is not strong enough like mine you better use your palm push down. It’s high quality very well made tool. You can use it for many years. It’s worth your money to invest this tool.

Thank you for your review Nan! Sounds like you're winning the thumb wars.

Works great!

This was my first time inoculating shiitake logs and the tool was really easy to use. I think it makes the work go much faster than if we had to use a funnel and chopstick. Hopefully it lasts many seasons!

This was a game changer for innoculating logs! Sooo much faster with this tool. My only regret is not buying 2!

Well Constructed, Ergonomic, and Easy To Use

This is a very well constructed and easy to use tool. We innoculated 22 new logs this year and I had no problems either one or two handed filling my drilled logs. Definitely worth the investment!

Heavy duty well constructed tool

This thing is made to last! Plastic grip is comfortable and should prevent hand fatigue from long usage. The brass tube is sturdy enough to hold up to vigorous use.

Great Tool

Finally received my order, and used the inoculation tool. The only problem that I had, just a nuisance more than a problem, but the tool got stuck easily in many of the holes, but worked great.

Could not say itany better then Pete

"Y’all, this tool is amazing! Paired with the drill Bit that’s literally made to fit this puppy right into the notch, an unbeatable combo! This made my sawdust inoculation so much quicker. It’s super sturdy and very comfortable to hold."

Made the process easy!!

During my first test run, I was very surprised at how easy this tool was to use, and how fast I was able to inoculate some logs. I have a ton of logs to do, and was afraid it would take me several days, in the cold. Thanks to the tool, I know I can breeze through it faster than expected. Now I need to get a 2nd one for my wife, so she can help, lol.

Worked better than expected

After looking around for an inoculation tool one a lot of different websites this caught my attention as looking the best built. Shipping was fast and when it got here it was put right to use. After 300 bolts done it still runs super smooth, easily depresses and is comfortable in your hand. After 100 bolts I decided to order another one to up production and it also hasn't disappointed one bit. This is worth the couple extra bucks from a cheaper version somewhere else, after inoculating for 4 hours no hand paint or blisters. Also, picked up the angle grinder attachment for drilling and it is seriously amazing. 11/10

Y’all, this tool is amazing! Paired with the drill Bit that’s literally made to fit this puppy right into the notch, an unbeatable combo! This made my sawdust inoculation so much quicker. It’s super sturdy and very comfortable to hold. I have big hands and didn’t cramp from gripping for prolonged time. Super quality stuff!
