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’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.

Very sturdy little hammer that’s made very well. The handle is very comfortable in your hand.

While shopping on line for a rock hammer I came across this fantastic product (Best Choice, 22-ounce all steel rock pick hammer with pointed tip, 11-inch overall length, sold by Efficere Tools) for a bargain price on Amazon.I was impressed with the super quick service receiving it in only 2 days after ordering it. I was somewhat surprised at the weight but it is a solid and durable rock hammer for a great price. This is the type of tool for anyone into hunting, mining, stone/rock masonry, chipping rock, archaeologist, and prospecting.The other end has a pointed sharp tip which is also handy when chipping rocks etc. The rubber grip makes it easy to handle.

This hammer worked well at chipping a line into large rocks and allowing me to break them open. It did the same for concrete that had been poured around posts. I did eventually upgrade to a 12 lb sledge hammer to get the job done in a few swings instead 5 to 10 minutes of chipping. But while using it as I did, I could tell that it was durable and would work well for any intended uses.

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

Good tool

The rock pick hammer seemed well made and was a very good value for the price, it doesn't have the name brand of the classic EST Wing Rock Pick Hammer, but for a budget option or occasional use appears to be a very good option. As far as I can see it is just as advertised a solid one piece steel hammer, the materials look like they are good quality. No visible defects or rough casting, edges are well ground with no sharp edges. Handle appears to be a solid piece of steel within a rubber grip. Over all the hammer is about 22 ounces so it is midway between a standard weight 30 Oz Rock hammer and a light 13 Oz rock pick, overall length is 11 inches, head is just under 7 inches long and 13/16ths of an inch wide tapering to a semi blunt point (wedge shaped) 3/ 16ths of an inch high. Seems like a good functional hammer, use will confirm if it holds up.
