Easily digs through roots and hard ground. A quality tool at the best price at Amazon.

This is a great pick at a great value. I easily tore through roots of old stumps, never feeling the tool was going to give at any point. It also worked right through some of our Missouri clay soil that was used as a gravel mound. When I purchased the pick it was a bit cheaper than the $44.68 price, but I think it would still be worth the current price.

We bought this to replace an old one that the head kept coming off of. It is much better balanced and the handle is comfortable. Very happy with this item. I have used it to chop roots, remove unwanted grass and digg up an area for new planting. It seems to be really well made.

This Mattock worked very well over a 3 day trail building excursion. The blade is a bit thinner than comparable tools which allowed it to slice through the grass and brush a bit better. The handle seems to get dinged up since it sticks out more than other mattocks I've used, but it has shown no adverse effects yet.

Upon receiving the Ames Pick, my adult sons asked me what I was going to do with it.

I told them "to kill Zombies, what else!!"

They looked at each other, looked back at me, then studied and admired the Ames Pick while nodding their heads in agreement.

This pick has great weight and balance.

That'll teach those Zombies!!

This is a pretty decent mattock. It has held up well to some pretty vigorous use, and is still going strong. I am a fan of the FiberPro handle - it reduces uncomfortable vibrations, and is very durable.

I replaced a wooden handle pick axe with this and I could not be happier. I have very rocky soil and the pick fishes out the boulders and hold it's point even with direct strikes onto stone. I have not stung my hands at all with it either. It is really well balanced and if you have to bust up earth all day this is the tool to use.

I recommend it highly.

What can you say about a pick mattock? It works! I especially like the fiberglass handle; I keep my tools in a shed, and the pick i used to have, had the wooden handle eaten by bugs.
