Know before you buy
No, this is a replacement head only. You will need to provide your own compatible handle to complete the assembly.
This tool is specifically engineered for challenging terrain, including hard-packed clay and rocky soil. The pointed end is designed to break through dense earth, while the mattock blade is effective for severing small roots.
This head is designed as a standard replacement for Truper pick mattock tools. Before purchasing, verify the eye size of your current handle to ensure a secure, snug fit for the head's dimensions.
The head features a painted steel-gray finish that provides a layer of protection against the elements. To maintain the tool's longevity, we recommend wiping it clean and storing it in a dry area after use.
Yes, the 5-pound carbon steel construction is durable enough for trenching and loosening stubborn earth. However, it is intended for manual use and should not be subjected to mechanical leverage beyond what is expected for standard gardening tasks.
