Estwing Rock Pick: Enhanced Geological 🪨 Reduction with Industrial Power & Hand Tools Review

This is her favorite rock climbing and fossil hunting hammer. Things get lost when you move. My wife lost hers long before we met. Now that we're retired and back to tracking fossils and rocks, she was talking about her old hammer. It arrived just in time for our anniversary. And she loves it.

We get these for geode hunting so we usually use them to loosen the dirt around the rocks and soften the dirt in the screen holes. The 14 oz we found is just the right amount, 22 oz is too heavy after a few hours of use, although the heavier guy becomes a strain on his forearms after a few days of use, 14 oz is great.

The picture shows a flat head hammer on one end and a mandrel on the other. That is what I needed. A chisel and pickaxe have arrived. This is a well made product and I can get it to work but I am disappointed that it is not what I ordered. If there was a match between the photos and the product delivered it would be five stars. But with bait and rod he only deserves two.

Good weight, well built and perfect for rock collecting and self defense. I'm a treasure hunter at the park and needed something to break up the hard ground so this is perfect. In addition, loneliness with expensive equipment makes a person vulnerable. The look of the hammer and its weight give thieves food for thought, and it's also good for examining rocks, which I do.

I have bought this for years to come and passed it on to my kids as beginner climbers. The striking face of the hammer is randomly sharpened at an angle to the head and body. Because it's made in the USA, despite the description, it's poor quality control and a lack of attention to detail. I'll sharpen the plane, which I don't have to do. A shot at an angle can lead to inaccuracies and be less safe. The next purchase will not be from this brand anymore, because it was clear that they save on…

WARNING: Make sure you wear eye protection when you use this rock hammer. My son has become an avid fossil hunter and we often return from the beach and hikes with 5-10 pounds of "fossil rock". He used other rocks or my hammer to smash the rocks, risking breaking his fingers and/or ruining my hammer. So we went pro with this one-piece 14-ounce Estwing rock mallet. The perfect weight for the little guy, a comfortable grip, a tool designed for rockhounds and a tool he's proud of and calls his…

I have been using and buying Estwing jackhammers since the 1960's and I am sorry to say that this last purchase was a disappointment. a lot of confidence - something previously unthinkable at Estwing. In fact, the workmanship feels like a $5 Chinese knockoff, not the $35 pro tool I paid for. The forging has an odd wavy S-curve at the bottom; where it merges into the padding of the handle; Grinding on the sides looks like it took about 5 seconds: the curves are asymmetrically curved where the…

My grandson's other grandparents are buying him so many things for Christmas that I cringe. What I give him seems so small compared to anything else he could get. He's a nice guy and always says thank you, but I think time is more important than things. He still loves science in general so I bought him this rock hammer and a book on rocks and minerals for his neighborhood. He loved it. Just before Christmas we went rock hunting for a day and he had a great time and we found some cool rocks. In…

Yes I actually bought this pickaxe to attack and clear the ice that has been building up in front of my house and all the horrible ones Storms have been left behind so far this winter (2010-2011). I *used* a hammer and chisel, loud and dangerous. I suffered from many missed hammer blows! When I saw this online I thought it was the perfect solution and it works perfectly! No more loud banging of a hammer on a metal chisel as I'm hitting the ice directly with a pickaxe. Also, one hand doesn't get
