Good pick/mattock but with reservations Jul 12, 2009
By John M. Godden I have used this pick for digging in VERY hard ground. It's held up very well to a lot of abuse. Excellent product.
The spade end did bend a bit when it hit some hard granite. I used a sledge hammer to straighten that out. -------------------------------------------------------
Update July 2009: Yikes~! Just busted the handle on this bad-boy whacking away at an old tree root. If I could I would revise my review to a 3 as the handle should not have failed like this. I'm going to order another non-wood handle.
A good sturdy Pick/Mattock Apr 10, 2009
By W. Brown Prefer the wooden handle more than the synthetic type. This is a great work tool for the yard. Recommended.

Replacement handle Aug 26, 2010
By Keith Lofstrom

I also broke the handle on this mattock, prying down on the handle too much. I am a wimp, so handle breakage will happen more often for stronger people. The wood is smaller on the long axis of the oval where it enters the plastic sleeve than an all-wood handle, and since the torsional breaking stress goes up as the cube of this dimension (says the engineer) this mattock handle breaks more easily than an all-wood handle.
The replacement handle is Ames True Temper 2036900: AMES TRUE TEMPER 2036900 MATTOCK REPAIR HANDLE - 36"
I put it on by using a Really Big Bench Vise to squeeze the top of the plastic until it is a bit rounder, then banging the metal tool part on with a sledge.

By notquitequiet I bought this as a wedding present for my friends. I've never seen it, but they said it was great.
