Just what I needed for digging in heavy clay and rock. Padded handle and two different tips are great. You can wear yourself out swinging this baby for a few hours. Highly recommended for some major digging.

I have gone through a few mattocks over the years but this is the first with a fibreglass handle and with light weight. Perfect!

Used alongside a 5lb mattock for grading as well as digging into the side of hills to change the decline plus rock removal. The head is well cast, not covered in paint to hide its inconsistencies of which there seems to be none, unlike the Canadian Tire mattock which is full of them. The head also seems harder or better tempered. Also by comparison the handle is top quality north american hardwood with a nice grain pattern. This one has a polymer insert over the handle which the head fits tightly onto which alleviates stresses on the handle and also protects it. All in all a high quality tool that enables me due to its weight to maintain my forest trails, and continue building...60 kms to present.

This railroad pick is a beast. It went through 3-4 inch tree roots like a hot knife going through butter. I was amazed how well it did. It definitely saved me some back breaking intensive work.

My new favorite yard tool for planting shrubs and removing roots from my garden! Very sturdy, very light, easy grip even with my arthritis and gets the job done quickly. I have red clay to deal with any time I'm planting and this tool is the BEST - wish I had purchased one years ago. The only reason I gave it four stars is because the wooden handle gave me splinters in both hands right when I took it out of the box. After sanding it was perfect. I love it!

Well proportioned tool that makes it easy to swing and work with. The handle is nice and sturdy. I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of good use from it.

I used this tool to remove a couple tree stumps and it has worked flawlessly for that task. I'm a big, strong guy who didn't find wielding this heavy tool a challenge at all. It was the right size and weight for me. It packs a pretty good punch for digging or splitting old tree stumps apart. The handle is very strong and could easily handle being pulled on by 80 pounds or more without breaking. I really like having two ends for use. The material has not deformed or dulled by use. For a strong adult, I highly recommend this tool if used properly. Make sure the area is clear and that you're wearing proper safety equipment (including safety goggles and gloves) before you start swinging. But, it digs and chips quickly and efficiently for this type of tool.

Got it today, studied it pretty good. Did not use yet, so stop reading if that matters to you. I will update if the head comes flying off and goes through my car window.Fiberglass handle excellent. Grip awesome. Head seems well attached. The pointed end is very pointy, sharp. The blade end is also sharp but not like a knife. Was well packed, shipped in big box, head end fully bubble wrapped and taped by Amazon. No complaints.Very glad I listened to the reviews and got the 2.5 pounder; it's plenty heavy for me (and I weight train routinely). No need 5 pound head unless one plans to use it for short periods of time, like one tree root. If using all day, lugging into forest, using at a campsite, clearing an overgrown field, the smaller weight will be better. I'm digging a 200 foot trench, this is right for me. The one I got is the 2.5 pound pick mattock with fiberglass handle. At the time I bought it, the fiberglass was only about four bucks more than the wooden handled model; seems worth the upgrade. Will save vibration on hands and arms, methinks. Also, fiberglass is slightly heavier than wood (as anyone who owns a fiberglass ladder knows), making the 2.5 pound model ideal in weight for use. The review where the guy uses this on the Appalachian Trail made a lot of sense to me. Use caution with the reviews as Anazin is selling many weights and varieties of this tool and lumping all the reviews together.My model has a black head despite the photo having a silver head.Like the color so I can see it easily in the garage and in the brush. Like the feel of the handle, size, etc.No complaints yet. If I don't update this review with complaints, know that it's working out for me. My first purchase of this imported brand, so far so good. If the head chips, slides off, breaks, if the handle splinters, the rubber grips get loose, blah blah, I'll update this review and slaughter this product. Otherwise, know things are ducky.Addendum: I dug my long trench and did a couple other projects. Love this thing! Works well, no flying or loose head, superb. I will say, the fiberglass handle actually burns my sliding hand as I’m chopping downward; the non-dominant use hand burns across the fiberglass shaft, and I never experienced this with a wooden handled tool. Anyhow, gloves are mandatory. But, still, this sucker is the cat’s pajamas! 🐱

Liegt gut in der Hand. Macht Spaß damit zu arbeiten.Hatte es zum lockern von Erde und Kies vor dem Wegschaufeln verwendet.Der Gummigriff garantiert festen Halt. Um Blasen zu vermeiden sind zusätzlich leichte Handschuhe empfehlenswert.

First, let me say that Amazon sent me the wrong tool. They sent the 5 lb Pick Mattock instead of the 2.5 lb one that I ordered. I kept the 5lb one to avoid the hassle of returning and waiting for a replacement. I'm glad I did... It may be tiring to swing around for any length of time, but MAN it sure is effective. I broke up hard-packed soil for a garden in no time... so much better than a shovel and hoe. This was my first time using a pick axe/mattock, so maybe I'm really just giving "Pick Axes" in general 5 stars, but this one performed admirably with no complaints. Head quality was good: straight, not particularly sharp, but good enough for soil. (If I were principally cutting tree roots, I might have sharpened it up a bit.) I used every surface of that head: besides the obvious uses, the head held flat against the ground makes for a great grading/leveling tool. The mattock side is perfect for dragging through tilled soil to make trenches for planting. The handle felt really comfortable and solid. I expect this tool will last a very long time.I loved swinging this thing. As I laid in bed that night, a little bit sore from the day's labor, I couldn't stop thinking about that axe. Seriously: I kept wondering what other part of the yard I could tear up and plant something new. Can't wait to get back to swinging that axe. Anytime you can say that about a tool, then you know it is good.

With a house in Pennsylvania where ground is mostly shale and large rocks right below the dirt, it is nearly impossible to dig into the ground with a shovel alone. Most of our transplanted trees have had to be put into the ground using excavators operated by landscapers. It is very difficult to even plant bulbs a few inches in the ground using a shovel or hand trowel.Meet the pick mattock. I got this 5-pound version. Solid as any large tool I've ever owned. I recommend you watching some Youtube videos for the proper method in using it: which is basically letting the weight of the pick do most of the work.That being said, I have used this to muscle my way through layers of shale and rock. The pointed pick end easily breaks up the rock and the flat axe end carves out the earth. With this, I have been able to dig holes in the ground over 3 ft wide and deep. Yes, its back-breaking work but this makes it possible with out having to hire professionals to operate heavy machinery/excavators.Wonderful tool.
