Pick Mattock

The Pick Mattock is a dual-head digging tool with a pointed pick on one end and a wide adze blade on the other, built for breaking hard ground and clearing roots and rocks. A forged steel head paired with a sturdy handle makes it a dependable choice for gardeners, small farmers, and landscapers working tough soil.
