The invention discloses a flexible detection tool and a detection method. The flexible detection tool comprises a bearing platform and a detection sample block, a handle is fixedly installed at the center of the upper part of the bearing platform close to one side, an installation hole is formed in the upper surface of the bearing platform, and an installation column is fixedly installed at the bottom of the detection sample block. A connecting structure is arranged between the installation hole and the installation column and comprises a clamping block, a stand column, a clamping head, a clamping groove, a blind hole and a groove head, the clamping block is fixedly mounted in the position, close to the top, of the interior of the installation hole, the stand column is fixedly mounted in the middle of the bottom of the interior of the installation hole, and the clamping head is fixedly connected to the top end of the stand column; the clamping groove is formed in the position, close to the top, of the outer surface of the installation column. According to the flexible detection tool, the split type design is adopted, the production and processing cost of the detection tool can be effectively saved, the detection tool can be assembled, the randomness is high, the space storage problem and the carrying problem are solved, meanwhile, the assembling stability is high, and use is facilitated.
