Pick Axe for Digging, Heavy Duty Pickaxe with Shock Absorbing Handle, 36 Inches

Very well made, works great. Ver

GOOD QUALITY

Outstanding pick axe. The weight and balance are just right for me. As an older guy I appreciate a tool that does most of the work itself with the proper "guidance".

Works great and built solid. Easy to assemble and worked great in tilling the garden.

The VNIMTI “Pick Axe for Digging, Heavy Duty Pickaxe with Shock Absorbing Handle, 36 Inches” is a great tool. After breaking several wooden handles, I prefer a non-wooden handle. This handle seems to be sturdy enough for my wild side. As with all other pick axes, the handle wedges into the end of the handle. This fit snuggly after I slammed it down on the concrete several times. It has a good weight to it and feels sturdy in my hands. I have not wrestled with any roots to test the handle, which is how I broke the handles in the past.

I’m intrigued with the fiberglass handle on this pick axe - the wooden handle on my current pick axe is starting to splinter. Since the quality of the handle pretty much defines the utility of the pick, I’m hoping the fiberglass handle will last longer. The bright orange color is a benefit on a farm and the length works for both me and my husband’s taller stance. I had some question about the working blade slipping, but that hasn’t happened.It arrived in a plastic sleeve with the working blade wrapped in heavy duty cardboard. It was a breeze to assemble, just slide the blade on and tap firmly to settle into place. I already have a mattock with this sort of assembly, so it was intuitive. The fiberglass handle has a defined surface on the grip area.We live in a rural area with lots of rocks and a clay pack that turns to stone when it dries out. This tool works a treat. The sharp end helps with reclaiming land from small saplings and blackberry bushes that spring up everywhere. Cutting through those roots with a hoe is exhausting. The weight and cutting edge on this tool works much better. The pick works when you need to get under and pry up larger rocks.I’m very happy with this pick and expect it will last a good long time.

This is a good quality pick axe appropriately priced. The head appears well made and is strong. The synthetic fiberglass handle is strong and should survive abuse better than a traditional wood handle.My background is in farming and ranching, mining both surface and underground, along with wildland firefighting. I take quality tools seriously and can break sub-standard tools with the best of them.I'm satisfied with this pick axe. I've used it and others like it for many years. This style of tool is very handy when breaking into hard ground including rocks, dry clays, and roots.To those concerned with the head potentially coming loose...don't be. The natural forces during use will continue to tighten the head to the handle to the point you won't be able to get it off even it you try.

Ordered twice and still missing piece first the stick and now the axe!
