I was trying to dig through a clay and rock mixture with just a shovel and it was very difficult. This pickaxe & mattock works like a charm.

The Pick Axe left me disappointed. After just one use, it inexplicably bent its head while tackling some tree roots in my backyard. Its lack of durability is concerning, making it unsuitable for any serious tasks. I wouldn't recommend this product to others wanting a reliable and durable tool.

Excellent pick for the hard ground in my area, great grip, comfortable swing, and plenty heavy to sink in deeper with fewer strokes.

I bought this for digging out a hill in my back yard that is mostly completely compacted clay. I'm about to brake up and pry the large chunks out and then brake them up. The handle dose flex some but it's pretty comfortable to swing. The 5lb is the best for this tougher clay and rock.

Long enough handle, comfortable enough to hold and get the job done.

it works fine, but as a senior citizen, I would have bought the 2 lb one. I have rocky clay soil so it is hard to dig up but this 5lb one goes right thru the top soil and if there are any rocks or roots it cuts right thru them. I would not recommend it for anyone that is not physically able to lift 75 pounds. I only had to dig a 5' trench 14" deep, and finished in less than 15 minutes. This is a heavy tool, and you should take note of that.

This ergonomic design is a testament to the craftsmanship behind the tool, ensuring that users can maintain a firm grip even during the most demanding tasks.

But what truly sets the 5lb Mattlock Pickaxe apart is its sharp yet delicate spade.

In conclusion, the 5lb Mattlock Pickaxe is more than just a tool; it's a testament to the power of craftsmanship and design. With its smooth handle, weighty thick head, sharp but delicate spade, and strong black appearance, it's a force to be reckoned with in any toolbox.

Needed a little muscle for getting some shrub roots out, this is just the thing. I never realized how much help a pick can be for any digging.
