Pick Mattock w/ Wooden Handle Check Availability

The pick mattock is often recommended as the standard tool for trail work and comes in handy at invasive plant pulls, too. It has a pointed tip for breaking rocks and a grubbing blade for working softer materials. The grubbing blade also may be used to cut roots or remove small stumps. With the edge of the tool, you can tamp dirt and loose rocks or smooth a new tread.

A pick mattock can be used to pry rocks or roots without fear of breaking a handle. Two people working with pick mattocks may not need to carry rock bars.

Safety Equipment: Hard hats should always be worn when moving large, heavy objects.
