ESTWING Rock Pick - 22 oz Geology Hammer with Pointed Tip & Shock Reduction Grip - E3-22P

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.

Good hammer good price

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!

Excellent functionality and appearance.

Took this baby on a month-long sprinter van trip that included a real dino-dig in Montana.... it's a beast. For the sandstone and softer rock, I could have probably gotten away with a smaller option. But for breaking bigger rocks and rough exploration (deep digging) this thing is fantastic. My grandpa had an Estwing hammer. It was passed down to my dad and now to me. I expect I can do the same with this rock hammer... if I don't wear it down before then. :)

The 22 oz is heavy for kids and a bit too long so I'd get the 17 oz if your kids are younger than 10. But the kids, teens and adults all loved this tool, we had a big group and two of the picks and everyone loved it. Took me average of 13 hard hits to get a geode to crack open. The kids took longer but loved it. Get safety goggles, the rock shards really fly off!!

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

espectacular la dureza se nota que es de primera calidad, no ha roca que se le resista y ni un rasguño
