Description
A pickaxe is a versatile hand tool consisting of a long handle and a pointed metal head with a flat blade on one side and a pick or adze on the other. It is primarily used for breaking up and excavating hard materials, such as rock, concrete, or compacted soil. The flat blade side of the pickaxe is ideal for chopping or digging into surfaces, while the pick or adze side is used for breaking apart hard materials or prying. The pickaxe is commonly used in construction, mining, landscaping, and other heavy-duty tasks that require forceful impact and digging capabilities. Its sturdy construction and ergonomic design provide leverage and control, making it an essential tool for professionals and DIY enthusiasts working with challenging materials.
