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

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.

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 is a great tool for chopping/digging out small to medium size stumps. It has sufficient weight to it that it chops well without being so heavy it’s hard to swing. It didn’t come as sharp as I personally like, but since I live where you hit a rock about every other swing, I spend a.lot of time sharpening things. I love the fiberglass handle since I am pretty good at breaking the wooden ones. Great price. I would recommend this item.

I bought this for future prospecting since it breaks down and easily fits into a pack. Got it just before this recent storm and had it with me. It was all I needed to get myself unstuck from the ice. Very handy, very sturdy.

Works perfectly!

Nice Quality Tool. Happy with the purchase

Worked as supposed to.

I had lots of tree roots in my yard and this made cutting through and removing them much, much easier. The grip is comfortable, it came sharpened, and the weight is just right to help with the cut on the downward swing.
