Fiskars IsoCore Pickaxe Mattock with Shock Absorbing Handle, 1.5 lb

Using this tool to dig out bramble bulbs. Perfect weight for this. Very well made. Highly tecommended

Good quality, the type of tool you have for life.

I have bought "similar" tools for 1/4 the price. But having just seen n used this, no comparison or complaints. The weight, heft n quality is just superb. It is actually maybe bit too heavy, but u could use it two handed. It actual feels like a full size pick. U hit something with it anf it gets pummeled. Plus u get unlimited full lifetime guarantee (as long as u owner) U ain't going wrong with this tool (even if u pay twice what I did). I will just say, if u need and use a compact pick then get this. If u might possibly need a mini pick (not compact) then just get cheapy cheap ones.

Wow

Great quality. 1 star knocked off because the plastic cover for the end you're not using perished almost immediately. I'm using it to 'dig' out clumps of bamboo root balls.

Very well made as expected from fiskars. I’d suggest this is suited to very strong users as it feels too heavy for one handed use but handle too small for two handed use. Certainly got some heft to it but can’t see using this one handed for long due to getting tired. Also closer to the work so eye protection or face shield needed. Overall I prefer my little mattock that’s half the weight and my 5lb mattock that can be used with both arms and keeps the work at ‘arms length’ so safer in use. Looks nice though! PS The WEIGHT. Listed as 1.5lbs. That’s the head weight alone as is common when listing mattocks and picks. Total or true weight including handle more like 2.6lbs and that’s a big difference so don’t be fooled by the 1.5lbs headline weight.

Excellent Fiskar Quality, nice balance, good weight, and a comfortable grip. I've used it to clean out the flower beds, breakdown dried soils in raised garden beds, and recently it was extremely helpful clearing the base level for laying paving stones. It will cut through roots, dig into clay soils, clear weeds, and even pry out some medium sized stones. It's also served me well as a demolition tool while renovating a kitchen. I'm still finding uses for it - Very happy with my purchase.

Bra kvalitet! Snabb leverans.

Mini Pioche très bien conçue et solide Evite beaucoup de fatigue et du mal au dos pour creuser des trous de plantation ou déterrer des pierres récalcitrantes. Très bon achat.

Positiv: Sehr robustes Werkzeug mit hoher Durchschlagskraft. Lockert auch trockene und lehmige Böden mit vergleichsweise wenig Kraftaufwand und gräbt sich selbst in harten Untergrund schnell ein. Negativ: Bei längerer Nutzung gehen die Vibrationen spürbar auf Handgelenk und Unterarm. Das lässt sich bei einem solchen Werkzeug allerdings kaum vermeiden. Man sollte genau darauf achten, wo man zuschlägt. Ob Randstein, Wasserleitung oder Wurzel einer Pflanze – mit der Spitzhacke kann man schnell etwas beschädigen. Fazit: Ich habe mir diese Spitzhacke gekauft, nachdem sich ein günstigeres Modell aus dem Baumarkt in unserem lehmig-steinigen Boden verbogen hatte. Diese Sorge habe ich bei diesem Werkzeug überhaupt nicht. Ich gehe davon aus, dass sie mich noch viele Jahre begleiten wird.
