The patented Shock Reduction Grip is bonded directly to the steel core, providing unparalleled comfort and reducing impact vibration by over 70%.

Unlike tools with separate handles, this one-piece construction guarantees it will never slip or break under pressure. **Ideal for Rockhounds, Skip if Seeking Lightweight Tools** — This Estwing rock pick is perfect for serious rockhounds, prospectors, contractors, and anyone needing a robust tool for splitting rocks, driving chisels, or general masonry work. Its 624g (22 oz) weight and solid steel construction provide excellent striking power. However, if you require a very lightweight hammer for delicate tasks or extended overhead work where minimizing weight is paramount, this might feel heavy. For such specific needs, consider lighter-duty hammers or specialized tools, though they may not offer the same durability or impact resistance. ## How to use 1. Use the pointed tip for scoring lines on rocks or splitting stone. Employ the flat striking face for driving chisels or general hammering tasks against masonry. — Select the Right End 2. Hold the hammer firmly by the Shock Reduction Grip, ensuring a secure, slip-free hold. Swing with controlled force, aiming accurately at your target for effective striking or splitting. — Grip and Strike 3.
