This heavy-duty contractors chisel and point pick axe is ideal for loosening and breaking up concrete, soil, and large tree roots. The durable hickory handle makes the use of this pick a more comfortable experience and helps to create a hard-wearing, reliable pick. When using a pick axe, ensure that there is nobody around you, and if you are unable to be in full control of the pick axe when swinging it, do not continue to use it. Take care when swinging the pick not to swing it at your own feet. Wear protective goggles to avoid being hit in the eye with shrapnel, and wear heavy-duty gloves to protect your hands. You will also need a shovel and a wheelbarrow to move the rubble or soil once you have loosened it with the pick.
