Pickaxe AWTools AW33215BL — weight 800 g, hand tool for digging and breaking ground

AWTools AW33215BL pickaxe is a compact hand tool weighing 800 g designed for digging, breaking compact soil and light demolition tasks. The head is made of tempered and hardened carbon steel and combines a sharp, angled blade with notched teeth to bite into wood and compact materials effectively. The tool is supplied with a nylon handle covered by an anti-slip TPR grip and a plastic sheath for convenient attachment to a belt.

Advantages

The tempered and hardened carbon steel head provides durability and maintains edge geometry during repeated use. The angled blade with notched teeth increases cutting bite on roots and wood, while the balanced 800 g design supports controlled manual swings. An ergonomic lightweight nylon handle reduces overall weight without sacrificing strength, and the TPR anti-slip coating improves grip in wet or gloved conditions. The included plastic sheath allows safe transport and quick access when working outdoors.

Suitable for

• Gardening tasks such as breaking compacted soil and removing roots
• Landscaping work including bed preparation and edging
• Forestry and wood-clearing operations for small branches and roots
• Light construction and demolition tasks where a portable pickaxe is required
• General outdoor maintenance and manual ground work

How to use

Hold the pickaxe with both hands on the nylon handle, keeping a secure grip on the TPR-coated areas. Position the angled blade against the target area and apply controlled, steady strikes to avoid overexertion. Use the notched teeth to catch roots or wood fibers, and adjust strike angle to maximize penetration in compact soil. For lifting or dragging small logs, use the head to lever and lift while keeping a stable stance to reduce back strain. After use, clean debris from the head and sheath, dry the metal surfaces and store the tool in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection. Inspect the handle and head before each use for signs of damage. Do not strike hardened metal or concrete with the blade to avoid chipping. Keep the blade sharp and free of rust; apply light oil to the steel head for corrosion protection when storing for extended periods.
