Mattock

Product Description

PRODUCT CODE: 4070B

A Mattock is a robust manual excavation tool designed for breaking compacted soil, loosening hard ground, removing roots, and performing controlled digging operations. It features a dual-purpose forged high-carbon steel head with a pointed pick end for penetrating compact soil and rock, and a broad adze blade for scraping, cutting, and leveling soil surfaces.

The tool is equipped with a durable hardwood handle designed for a comfortable grip and effective force transfer during fieldwork. Its reinforced head-to-handle connection provides stability during demanding excavation tasks, while the corrosion-resistant coating and hardened cutting edges support durability in outdoor working conditions.
