Rock Pick - 22 oz USA Made Geology Hammer with Pointed Tip & Shock Reduction Grip - E3-23LP

Is it ok to say this Item ROCKS…seriously this has the Estwing tradition all over it. How can you go wrong? This was not made Wong. This is a USA product and the craftsmanship shines. It is every bit of a High Quality Product. Packed in a vacuum sealed bubble wrap, which was a bit of a challenge to open, I am so happy with this Rock Pick that I bought 2, one for me and one for my wife, sort of a self defense tactic. No one else makes them like this. Great grip, nice buff, a truly beautifully product. My only wish would be for a wooden handle, but who knows, maybe some day they will make a commemorative miners pick, not by a hick, but with a hickory handle. Sorry for the puns, just can’t wait to get my rocks off with my pick!

As a geologist, this is the best hammer. It is strong, not too heavy, and helps me in the field.

I love this thing honestly. I have used it for rock hounding and fossil hunting and its held up the entire time. The grip is very comfortable while the metal has been greatly corrosion resistant even when exposed to water/left in muk and grime for a few days. Overall, I would suggest this to someone even if its costs more- you're getting what you pay for and that is certainly quality.

This is my first Estwing rock pick and it absolutely lives up to its reputation. The one-piece steel construction feels incredibly solid, and the balance makes it easy to swing accurately even as a new owner. The shock reduction grip is comfortable right out of the box and inspires confidence for long days in the field. Overall, it feels like a serious, professional tool and I’m genuinely excited to put it through its paces on my upcoming trips.

This is the best out there for the money. It is not the cheapest. But it is very high quality.

These things are amazing. I got several for my children and myself. They feel very solid and sturdy. Breaks rocks like a champ too. Handle feels great. I was worried I should have gotten the longer version for leverage but it turns out this length is plenty good for leverage. As far as what I need at least. They were worth every penny. Don't cheap out. I nearly did. Glad I didn't now. This is well worth the money and will actually last. I've tried a few. This ones durability is superb. I can't wait to try out some of their other rockhounding tools!

This is what I needed made in USA Rock pick for my gold sampling adventures.

Excellent functionality and appearance.

Lovely hammer, survived many fossil hunting trips, used for cracking rocks and sifting through mud, without fail. Picked the longer one which is good for reach (and helping to stand up from crouching), but it is quite heavy to carry around. So unless you expect to need the extra oomph from heavier head and longer hammer consider getting the 14oz one.

comfortable to hold Chic looks ESTWING stamp Reached me on time and in good packaged condition Value for money

Da gibt es nicht viel zu sagen: der Hammer ist robust, sehr gut verarbeitet, liegt super in der Hand und tut das, was er tun soll, nämlich mit unwiderstehlichem Nachdruck Gestein zu zerlegen. Und ganz ehrlich gesagt, ein bisschen "Prestige" ist für einen Geologen schon auch dabei, einen Estwing an seinem Gürtel baumeln zu haben. :-)

Siamo al top dei martelli da pietra. Peso gestibile bene con una mano sola e l'impugnatura lunga e la robustezza del martello consente l'utilizzo a due mani per migliorare l'accuratezza. L'acciaio duro di cui è fatto trasmette la forza del colpo in maniera ottimale alla pietra. Efficace e precisa la punta acuta permette distacchi accurati, se ben maneggiato. Spesso gli indispensabili mazzetta e scalpello restano nello zaino. Non usarlo con mazzetta al posto dello scalpello con manico perché è curvo e si danneggia oltre a non trasmettere bene il colpo.

Hammer works excellent. Supplier was prompt in delivery Many thanks
