EFFICERE 22-Ounce All Steel Rock Pick Hammer with Pointed Tip, 11-Inch Overall Length | Essential for Geological Study, Rock Hounding, Prospecting, Mining, Fossil Dig, Masonry Related and Much More

I dug a 12 in deep, 15 inch wide and 22 ft long trench in my rocky driveway with this little pickaxe. Heavy enough to break the soil/rocks but light enough to not get you exhausted with the first 10 min. Absolutely excellent tool. Love it.

I like the size for ease of carry, and has plenty of heft for small jobs. Used this weekend and held up pretty good. Broke up some rock looking for minerals and it held up well. Held it's point and face without bending or spalling off. I purchased mostly for crevassing while out panning and sluicing so didn't need a high dollar pick, and expected it to be mostly chinesium metal, but was pleasantly surprised. Held up as well as the brick hammers I've used in masonry (19 years) will buy another if this one wears out

Perfect design

It's a good hammer just not heat treated on either end so it mushrooms with use. It's also not smooth so if you try and hang it from a pants loop it will saw it in half pretty quick. I've heat treated both ends and smoothed out all visable parts of metal and its now a quality hammer. I would say the quality is harborfreight type quality good but with some work it can be a great rock hammer.

I had been looking for a reliable, sturdy and inexpensive prospecting hammer for a few weeks when I found this on Amazon. On paper, it met all of my requirements, it is very rugged and tough, I've already used it to chip away at crevices in rocks in my prospecting adventures and I couldn't be happier with the results it provides. It's 22 ounces, and very strong, I don't need to worry about breaking it, the worst I can see happening is I will need to resharpen the pick after a few years. Other than that, I don't see any issues arising. The handle has a nice, solid rubberized grip to help ensure positive handling while using the hammer/pick, it's non-slip and really cushions the blows against your palm while you're using it. What a massive find, I can't say enough good things about this rock pick/hammer! The one drawback to it is you are only allowed to order one at a time. I wanted two so my wife can have her own while we're out prospecting, but that's not a big deal, I'll just order another one now that this one has arrived and proven itself worthy. Absolutely worth a 5-Star rating all-around!

I’m really enjoying my new rock hammer. I needed one quick for an out-of-town trip. This fit the bill perfectly and now I’ll probably just take it home with me.
