And anything else you need to take apart 😝

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great pick.

N.F.G. · February 23, 2025

I suffered using cheaper picks/rock hammers for almost a decade before deciding to upgrade. This tool is well made, well balanced, light to carry and comfortable to use. I've used it for heavy work excavating tough rocky matrix around mammoth bones and for fine work excavating trilobites in exfoliating limestone. Compared to less expensive options it's night and day, I wish I had purchased this years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hardened metal and long lasting

L. · December 28, 2024

I bought this to take with our hiking trips for amateur geology exploration, I am glad that the metal is hardened and lasted a decent amount to our smacking hard rocks and other materials. I was worried the tip would be bending quickly but it seems to be well built.

5.0 out of 5 stars Milled face or no milled face?

O. · August 11, 2021

This is perhaps the best quality geologist's pick available the only thing I wish would have been made clear from the start is what a milled face was and what a non-milled face was when buying the tool. TO be clear for all, a milled face is the hammer striking surface or "face that has been milled to have a "toothed" or grip type striking surface as opposed to the non-milled face that is completely smooth. Now the smooth face is more likely to slip of the face of the chisel you are striking, if you manage to not hit it wholly on the chisel but are somewhat off with your aim whereas the milled surface has grip and is less likely to slip off, so for this purpose I guess I have an added bonus to my tool that it will not or be less likely to slip off the striking surface if my aim is a bit off, but for aesthetic purposes the tool isn't as "pretty" and I also have to wonder why the milled face was cheaper than the non-milled face hammer/pick, as the milled face would have required more man hours to produce but hey, who am I to complain? Also the leather handle is always a great look and lasts a long time as I have had previous Estwing products with this leather handle. Everything about this tool is great, it's over all design, the handle, the hammer surface the pick end and even the bottom of the handle which has a steel end plate that is steel rivets holding the handle on, this is a tool that you can hand down to your son for him to use and cherish as is with so many American made tools! I whole heartedly endorse Estwing tools and do not have anything bad to say about this item, if you are in the market for a new geologists hammer/pick i recommend this tool! you will not be disappointed with it's quality or it's performance!

4.0 out of 5 stars Listed as a rock pick; pick only for prying?

M.L. · December 15, 2024

Made in America with American made in American S. Steel!!! Yay. But rock pick,ROCK PICK! Is only for prying? May chip if used as a rock pick?The pick end is used to pick into a quartz vein to determine if the vein contains gold. That’s its purpose. So, not hardened ss?

5.0 out of 5 stars Why did I wait so long

B. · July 9, 2024

I waited so many years to buy this hammer. Would put it in my cart, take it out of my cart. Try to forget it. I thought it would be so nice for car trips, to stop and investigate rocks along the way and satisfy my amateur geologist soul. I finally ordered it and it's so beautiful. Strong and well made and with such a nice leather grip and textured face. I'm going out to break up some of the local rocks and look for fossils. And now I feel like a real archeologist with the same hammer my professional geologist friends have!
