A pickaxe is a great tool for anyone working outside - professional arborists, demolition workers, construction workers, farmers and gardeners all can find multiple uses with this handy tool. The pointed side is great for breaking up hard clumps of soil, ice or even softer rock, while the flattened axe side is perfect for chopping away at pesky stumps, roots and other tree parts.
Love the tool. I use it while running a log splitter. I can pick up the rounds and lift them onto my horizontal splitter and finish splits that are held together by stringy fibers with the ax. Brilliant combination.
