Soil sampling tools are listed in the Pitchcare shop under the heading Tools & Equipment.
See if they are what you're after.
EDIT: You beat me to it John as I was busy ferreting around for the photo!
I know no boundaries.

You're after either the 2" sampler as in the pitchcare shop or the cricket pitch sampler as sold by nzsti - I think the cricket sampler is the small one anyway.
I wish someone in the UK sold those small samplers as they're very handy.
Of course there's no bounce, bend your back and put some bloody effort in.

4 inch depth. You can use it every week to check compaction & moisture levels in your block and match pitch.
This isn't done enough in the UK. Remove the guess work...

I use mine at least 2 to 3 times a week once I start PSR and all the way through the season, wouldn't be without it.
