IsoCore Pickaxe Mattock with Shock-Absorbing Handle, Dual-Head Tool for Roots & Rocks, 1.5 lb

Very good quality. Sturdy. Fantastic for getting tough woody weeds out of your flower beds or garden! Not too heavy, but not a light weight. A whole lot easier than using the full size version.

This pickaxe did exactly what I needed! I used it to remove a rosebush stump, and it worked perfectly. The tool feels durable, and I especially appreciate the plastic blade covers for safe storage. Great tool overall!

Highly recommend. Solid product. This is my second one coz I lost the first. I used it as my primary tool for 3 years.

I use this for digging out the roots of like 2-inch diameter shrub/tree kind of things. It worked great! I had been using a full-size pickax, but this thing is much more efficient. You can get down on your knees and immediately begin digging all around the various roots with incredible power. For the most part I was using the large end of the pickax not the small. The large end is not really super sharp but you can smash into roots with it and eventually break them in half. The pickax has enough weight where you can really lay into something. If you can dig down a few inches and get some roots into view and then cut them with a chainsaw, you can then attach a heavy strap or chain around the bush or small tree and connect it to a come-along alias winch and power out the whole bush or tree in a couple minutes of cranking. This is my preferred method for digging out large bushes, shrubs and small trees. And finally the pickax looks like it’s made really well and won’t break. I’m going to buy another one just for a back up because I definitely don’t want to use any other product.

This is an excellent, well built tool that can really help you out when digging in difficult soil. Cuts through clay and roots much better than a shovel. I’m sure this tool will last my lifetime.

The best tool to have when in limited space.

Good size and weight for clearing heavy clay from things or for loosening up packed dirt. The shock absorption is decent, tbh I wouldn’t expect a ton of it with any tool of this type. You learn pretty quickly what not to hit with it, and if you’re planning anything major you’ll probably need its larger siblings to get involved. The handle is pretty grippy which is important fyi.

I bought this tool to prospect for gold with. I didnt find any gold, but this tool was well worth the money and exactly what I was looking for. Works well for digging around in creeks. I now use it in my garden.
