INTERTOOL Pick Axe for Digging - 36” Heavy Duty Garden Mattock Pickaxe - Rust Resistant Steel with Adze Hoe & Shock Absorbing Fiberglass Anti-Slip Handle - Cultivate, Loosen Soil, Dig - HT08-0305

This pick mattock got the job done! Used this to clear large piles of dirt and rock left for years by previous owners. Weight was perfect for me. Sturdy and sharp, was able to pry a lot of large rocks out of ground to without worry of handle breaking. Been using this to get the rocks out of the ground to and it works like a charm!

This mattock arrived already assembled which I appreciated. I have been swinging a mattock for most of my life and this mattock packs a wallop. It is not light in weight but it needs to be heavy enough to break the sod. The elongated blade and pick make it successful in breaking hard soils and prying out tough roots. I already know that it will be a go-to tool for gardening. Great tool.

Shipping: Arrived on time. Shipping a large, skinny box that had holes all in it (I assume from the harper edge of the pick). Unpackaging: In the box was a handle and, separately wrapped, the pickaxe portion. Assembly: Simple. Slide the handle through the hole in the pickaxe. Use a soft mallet to help wedge the pickaxe onto the thicker end of the handle. Use: I used it to break up a huge pothole. I basically used it to break up hardened clay with rocks in a circle about 6 feet in diameter. I also used the flat blade side somewhat as a hoe. Efficiency: It worked very well. It cut through the hard clay with absolute ease. My shovels almost bent when trying, but this made it look like mush. It was easy to swing, and though there's nothing keeping the pickaxe on the handle except for the friction of being wedged onto the handle, it never came off or wiggled or anything. It has good weight, not too heavy, but also not so light that it bounces off the hard ground. The handle length is perfect too, and gives you enough swing motion to really bring it down into the ground with good force. Overall, it performed very well and I'm glad.

Very sturdy and rugged

Gets the job ✔️ 👍

I had my worries about the durability. Those worries went away when I busted through multiple flat rocks with this ax. I couldn't be more pleased with this tool. The handle is comfortable and everything is tight. After breaking through a multitude of rocks, the tip doesn't even look used.

It’s extra weight, sharpness and length really helped break rocky ground. However it would be nice to have a locking mechanism to keep the spike part in place. Wasn’t an issue but after an hour I was reminded that it doesn’t lock. It’s definitely sharp 👍

Solid, does its job
