Pickaxe Fiskars 1062937 ISOCORE 0.68 kg — hand tool for breaking and digging

The Fiskars 1062937 ISOCORE pickaxe is a compact hand tool designed for breaking compacted soil, chipping hard ground and light demolition tasks. Weighing 0.68 kg and featuring the ISOCORE shock-absorption system, this pickaxe reduces user-transmitted vibrations during impact, which helps maintain control and reduces fatigue during repetitive work. Its balanced shape and ergonomic grip make it suitable for precise digging and targeted breaking in garden and small construction environments.

Advantages

The ISOCORE insert dampens vibrations and improves shock absorption compared with rigid handles, offering smoother strikes and better hand comfort. The lightweight head and compact overall size give improved maneuverability for confined spaces and detailed jobs. Durable materials and a secure head-to-handle connection provide reliable performance for frequent use. The tool’s form supports precise strikes with controlled force, making it easier to direct impact where needed.

Suitable for

• Breaking compacted or rocky soil in gardens and allotments
• Loosening ground before planting or laying foundations for small structures
• Light demolition and removing small concrete or masonry fragments
• Digging narrow trenches, pilot holes or working in tight spaces

Key specifications

• Tool type: manual pickaxe for breaking and digging
• Head weight: 0.68 kg
• Shock-absorption: ISOCORE vibration-damping insert
• Design: compact and balanced for precision work
• Typical applications: gardening, light construction, small demolition

How to use

Grip the handle with both hands spaced comfortably apart, position the pickaxe so the striking face aligns with the target area, and swing with controlled force to chip or break the material. For digging, use the pointed end for focused penetration and the broad end to loosen and move soil. Maintain a stable stance and control the swing to avoid overexertion. Inspect the head and handle before use to ensure the connection is secure. After use, clean off soil and debris and store the tool in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety goggles, gloves and sturdy footwear. For extended or repetitive work, take regular breaks to minimize strain. Avoid using the pickaxe on very large or reinforced concrete structures that require powered equipment. Ensure the handle and ISOCORE insert are intact before each session to preserve vibration-damping performance and safe operation.
