Know before you buy
A pick mattock is designed for heavy-duty excavation, featuring a pointed pick end for breaking through hard, compacted soil or rock and a horizontal blade for cutting through roots. A standard garden hoe is typically used for surface-level weeding and soil aeration.
The 34-inch handle is standard for this type of tool, providing a balance between control and leverage. While it works well for most users, those who are exceptionally tall may need to bend slightly more than they would with a longer-handled specialty tool.
Yes, the 5 lb steel head is specifically weighted to provide the force necessary to penetrate dense clay and break up rocky ground. Its construction is durable enough to withstand the impact required for these tougher soil conditions.
The steel handle is highly durable and resistant to the splintering common with wood handles. To keep it in good condition, simply wipe off excess dirt and moisture after use to prevent corrosion.
This model is designed as a single, integrated unit for maximum durability. It is not intended for head replacement, as the steel construction is built to last through years of heavy garden use.
