Is it a solid piece of steel? Or a two piece?

This is two pieces, with a hollow handle. The description saying "forged in one piece" is generic for their one-piece hammers, and geo picks like the Burpee model. You can confirm this on Estwing's website. ALL their products say "solid American steel" but the description for this GP100 does NOT say "forged in once piece" like it does here on Amazon. There are half a dozen reviews with pictures showing where the hollow handle has become disconnected from the wide round socket in the head piece. Estwing's solid models do not have this clearly visible socket/lip where the head and handle connect, and are smooth tapered.

New at fossil-hunting - in addition to this hammer, should I consider a smaller Estwing (maybe 13 oz.) for finer work? Thanks.

Hi, we use this for everything. Most fossils are in some type of limestone or shale. This works very well to clear debris and get into the non exposed layers. We use it for fossil and rock hunting.

How wide is the spade portion of this tool?

Jimmy, I measured mine and it's 2/14 wide. A buddy of mine has one and I used it and liked it so much that I went and bought my own.Glad I did, it's a great pick.It's not anything like those heavy clunky things I'm used to.Hope this helps.

First impression - no mistake. I haven't had it in the field yet.

Una herramienta imprescindible

Necesitaba un pico manejable pero duro de pelar, y esta herramienta me va a servir mucho más que la picoleta que usaba para cavar en la roca

Excellent mid-size soil loosener/rock puller/manythings doer pick. Tough as nails.

Excellent/oddball size ideal for "little" swings and scooping, very versitile, WELL MADE, moves rocks with ease, lever, I mean this thing is pretty gnarly. Its midevil dang near, and feels it. Very good weight distribution, feels like you got a robot appendage almost, nice hammered finish, works great in hard or soft soils, perfect rock finder, doesn't beat the tip...just does what its supposed to, no excuses. If I were a foot taller I'd buy another and use 2.

Essential tool for groundworks

Probably one of the best tools I've purchased. Used for groundworks. Perfect for trenching getting under cables and pipes. Can also make easy work of concrete. Great for chalky ground. Can't recommend this enough.
