MFHUS Army Pickaxe / Mattock

I can see why others have referred to this item as being a 'replica', because it is. But saying that, its still a good tool!I recently bought a full size pick mattock to double-dig a flower bed of 6 meters, in readiness for my recently constructed 3, 1 meter square raised beds. When you see how effective a tool like this is in full size, you know its going to be very useful for smaller areas too. My next task is to reduce the size of my lawn and lay Smartedge along a 5 meter border. This tool will be much needed for that job, because I need to create a good swale as I go along.Update: 25 May 2015I have used this tool almost every week since it arrived. The paint is intact and the blade is very robust. I don't know what I'd do without this handy tool, its a life-saver on clay soil.

Well impressed with this chunk. It comes in a very bushcrafty canvas sheath with the shaft stored alongside the mattock head into a neat palm to elbow length package that would easily strap on a pack. The head has 750g stamped into it and is one solid chunk. The handle is painted green and is simply shaped to allow easy assembly. It is designed to come apart between uses by the looks of it can't wait to get it into the field for a test. Impressed so far.

Took at lot longer to be delivered but got there in the end, good quality.

Great for digging out soil for tree root removal. Cuts easily up to 1/2 roots. Much more manipulative than a full size pick

Looks good but fit an finish is a bit rough .

Didn't realise shaft was so short for job needed but is very sturdy,sharp and easy to use,need same quality just longer shaft next time.

Out of all the similar products, this was the one that specified for tree roots and stumps. All the other referred to 'garden requirements'. I was taking out an old stump and this was the item that lived up to the job. It made a hard job quick and easy. If it works for the military, it worked for me. I am very pleased with my purchase.The person helping me at the time was very impressed too.

Well made.Excellent.

Good value for money, versatile, easy to transport.

El mango de madera no encaja correctamente por lo que tendré que comprar otro con el consiguiente gasto adicional, el pico viene pintado en su totalidad lo cual no le favorece en nada, y no trae ningún tipo de cuña para poder fijar correctamente el pico al mango y no correr riesgos al hacer uso del mismo. CALIDAD-PRECIO en terreno negativo. Hay mejores herramientas Made in Spain por menos precio y de mejor resultado.

Idéale pour arracher les petites racines de mes arbustes mon jardin, terre argileuse et très dure. Le matériel semble de bonne qualité. Vraiment content de mon achat.

la consegna non è stata rapidissima, 5 giorni,non capisco cosa serve la parte in tela, serve per il trasporto, fin quando non è montato?il manico si è spezzato dopo 2 picconate.Il manico l'ho sostituito con un manico fai-da-te di castagno, perchè i manici standard,che si comprano in negozi di ferrramenta/edilizia o sono piccoli, o sono grandi, o il buco delpiccone è troppo rotondo. Una cinesata.Per fortuna l'acciaio non ha problemi, dopo c.a. 10 ore d'uso.

Das eine Tragetasche dabei ist, muss ich überlesen haben, bin positiv überrascht.Tasche, Stiel und Hackkopf fühlen sich wertig und robust an. Es lässt sich gut mit arbeiten (z.B. Fuchsloch).Für den Preis, echt TOP!
