what is the name of the tool used by astronauts to collect samples of rock and soil from the surface of the moon

The tool used by astronauts to collect samples of rock and soil from the surface of the moon varied from mission to mission, but they were all specially designed to allow the astronauts to collect rocks and soil for return to Earth. The tools used to collect lunar rocks and soils included tongs, scoops, rakes, and trenching tools. The contingency sampler was used for Apollo 11-15 missions, which was a tool used to collect a small amount of soil in case the primary sampler failed. The bulk sample scoop was used to pick up large quantities of lunar soil. The adjustable-angle trenching tool was used to dig trenches in the lunar regolith.
