Made in America, this tool combines ergonomic comfort with rugged performance, making it ideal for gemstone mining, paleontology, and fieldwork.

## Description

The Burpee Pick is a must for geologist and paleontologists. Solidly made 17” in overall length (approx.) and forged in one piece, this pick was designed with the professional in mind. 3 magnets in the side of the head allow for material analysis. The Shock Reduction Grip reduces impact stress.

Review: Pour le moment, juste déballé, j'espère qu'il sera plus résistant que l'estwing paleo qui s'est cassé au bout de trois ans. Produit lancé par dessus le mur, heureusement que c'est de l'acier. Je ne félicite pas le livreur. D'ailleurs on ne m'a pas demandé mon avis comme d'habitude. Déçu.
Review: I use this for semi precious gemstone mining specifically chalcedony. There is a lot of digging and prying and scratching involved this pick is ideal for that. incredibly sturdy and exactly the right size to also use in small tunnels. Considering the gemstones this pick has helped me dig out and the quality of the tool I think the price is good. Since i can work with it all day without tiring i consider it to be very light and the grip fits my hand very well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How wide is the blade?**
A: I’ll estimate 7/8” to 1” max width. It’s in storage at the moment but I’ve used it a bunch crevacing on bedrock in AZ. Nice strength for deeper cracks.

**Q: Does this pick really have magnets? I can't see them in the head image.**
A: Yes. 3 small magnets

**Q: Trying to decide between this and the 25 inch estwing geo/paleo pick for rockhounding with my kids? any advice?**
A: Unless you need to be breaking rocks, like quarrying, the Burpee Pick is probably plenty. If you are planning to park the kids a few feet away while you do overhead swings to bust rocks, then go up to the 25-inch geo/paleo pick.

**Q: Anybody know where I can order a sheath?**
A: I made my own, go to a craft store - leather rivets / leather.  It looks very similar to the Geology hammer sheath that Estwing sells or you can get standard hammer loop ( the point and cutting head will not be covered) Good luck!!!

Wertige Hacke für schweren steinigen Boden mit der Zusatzfunktion des Magnet-Tests aufgrund der angebrachten drei Magnete an Kopf der Hacke. Der Preis ist der Firma Eastwing geschuldet. Eine ähnliche Hacke gibt es auch von Fiskas ca. 40% günstiger, aber ohne Magnetfunktion. Ich würde die Hacke trotzdem wieder von Eastwing kaufen, es sei denn diese wäre wieder für Monate nicht verfügbar. Dann ist die Fiskals- Hacke eine echte Alternative für Geologen.
