Excellent for gardening excavations, to get to those pesky tough roots. Nice and light, with nimble balance. When a full size pickaxe is too big, heavy, or cumbersome for the job at hand, this Estwing hand tool is just right. This is actually the lightweight model of the several types of tools in Estwing’s geological rock pick category. So if it’s been developed for use by geologists in the field, it will easily cope with a spot of digging in one’s garden. It is well made, comfortable to use, comes from a company with a well respected pedigree, and is reasonably priced. The famous design of an Estwing hammer, often the choice of professionals, is sturdy and durable. However, the tool is designed for normal sensible use, not for prying sideways. My grandfather had one, many years ago, that broke when he used his Estwing nail hammer to try to pry open a badly jammed window. Similarly with a workman on a job site that used his Estwing drywall (plasterboard) hammer to do something, when a hammer and chisel would have been the right choice. Estwing’s drywall hammer has a rounded and milled (striated) hammer face to slightly sink nails below the surface of the plasterboard, and a thin blade on the other side that resembles a narrow hatchet, a bit like a tomahawk. It looks rugged and sturdy, but it is meant for plasterboard, not brick, concrete, stone, or tile. A badly chipped and damaged drywall hammer was the result of this chap’s misuse of a perfectly good hand tool. The old saying applies, “the right tool for the right job.” So, when used properly, the Estwing rock pick works very well, and is not overly large or heavy. All in all, a good pick.

Estwing are the best hammers you can get

Great item

Great hammer and pick end ,just what I needed but at one time they made one with both chisel and pick ends but cannot find one.

Not a rock hammer. The instructions clearly started that the point is for prying (fine) and the hammer edge for wooden stakes (wot???)

Love this hammer! I literally used it to take a piece of a mountain lol! I highly recommend this hammer it’s the only rock hammer you will ever need! Pays for itself. I left it in a field of schist far away from my house and I drove back to get it that’s how valuable this hammer is! Plus Estwing are the GOATS when it comes to hammers. No brainer!. T

Best regards

Dit is de echte he. Geen chinees staal dat barst op een harde steen.

Il meglio dei martelli per geologi. La fattura è semplicemente perfetta. Bilanciato. Acciaio di alta qualità. Manico anti vibrazioni. Un acquisto perfetto. Spedizione accurata e imballo veramente super resistente. Ottimo Amazon

Solid unit. I've been carrying it to smash rocks etc and it's great. I have a small sledge for rocks that need more persuasion but it gets heavy on hikes. This one is perfect
