Product Overview
Nupla has been an innovator for over 70 years in the development of fiberglass technologies and has earned the reputation as the industry standard for fiberglass striking, cutting, digging, and fire tools. Nupla handles are unaffected by sub zero temperatures, do not conduct heat or cold and are impervious to industrial chemicals. Nupla handles are also non-conductive and have a built in dielectric safety feature since Lifetime Nuplaglas is one of the finest insulators available. The 5 lb. Railroad Pick features a power drive handle that gives you optimum performance. Power drive handles are solid fiberglass, made through a pultrusion process that uses thousands of fiberglass strands and a unique resin making them super strong and resistant to weather, chemicals and insects (unlike most wooden handles). The pick has an ergonomic non-slip grip designed to allow usage in slippery conditions and even with gloved hands. It delivers more power, less rebound and vibration shock reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. The 5 lb. Railroad Pick is the strongest, safest tool in the industry and ideal for year round use.

What are the differences between the 6 lb. and 5 lb. versions of the Railroad pick?
Asked by NeedInfo April 4, 20211
AnswerAlmost identical dimensionally, some big guys like to swing a 6lb and others the 5lb, In very hard ground the Penetration will be slightly better with the 6 lb. The handle is the same length on both.
The product photo shows the black line on the handle being on the SIDE of the pick when inserted,...
Asked by Candice October 19, 20201
AnswerJust drop the head down over the handle and bang the black end down on a hard surface, The inside of the head is tapered and as such provides friction/interference fit with the black formed end. It makes absolutely no difference which side the black line on the handle faces, it is just the Nupla Trade Mark line.
How wide is the flat / trenching blade (so not the pick)? This is a basic fact about the product...
Asked by TrippKnightly September 27, 20201
AnswerThe chisel side of the head is 1.3/8" wide. If you need something wider check out the Pick-Mattock 24-552, which has a blade 3" wide.
What is the width of 5he mattock end?
Asked by Mitch August 21, 20201
AnswerSorry for the slow response. The width of the Mattock side of the head is 3.5".
Can I remove the head so I could carry the tool in a backpack?
Asked by LittleBrown August 18, 20201
AnswerYes, the head is an interference fit on the handle. Hold the pick head with the handle hanging down beneath it and strike a hard surface, that releases the head.
A photo view from the top and side (shown) would be a huge help. This way the shape of the blade ...

AnswersWhat is the difference between a pick maddox and a cutter maddox?
Asked by ED June 14, 20202
AnswersThe mattock has a broad horizontal blade (adze) on one side and either a pick axe (pick mattock) or a hatchet blade (cutter mattock) on the other side. Choice depends a lot on what is the intended use.

Perfect tool for the yard or doing some heavy grunting to build that gnarly trail line. As a Non-Profit trail building organization we count on durability and longevity of our purchases. The Nupla handled tools hold up to what we ask them to endure.

Borrowed one like this from a neighbor to remove roots from a large maple tree we unfortunately had to take down. While still a lot of hard work to dig and remove the tree's root system, this tool was magnificent. Any type of trenching or digging in hard ground is easier with this tool. So I bought one for myself because my neighbor refused to sell me his.
