Pickaxe Fiskars model 1062937 with pointed head, weight 0.68 kg, IsoCore handle

Fiskars pickaxe model 1062937 with a pointed head is a compact hand tool designed for breaking compacted soil, cutting through roots and loosening hard surfaces. The head weighs 0.68 kg and is paired with an IsoCore handle that reduces shock and vibration transferred to the user. This combination provides improved comfort and better control during repetitive striking tasks in gardening, landscaping and light construction work.

Advantages

The pointed head concentrates impact on a small area for efficient penetration in hard or compacted materials, while the relatively light head weight allows for more precise strikes and easier handling during extended use. The IsoCore handle absorbs and dampens shock and vibration, reducing fatigue and lowering the risk of strain. The tool’s balanced geometry enhances stability and control when breaking soil, prying roots or chipping small areas of hard ground.

Suitable for

• Breaking compacted soil and loosening garden beds
• Cutting and prying out roots and stumps
• Chipping or scoring small areas of hard-packed ground
• Light excavation and landscape maintenance

Key specifications

• Head type: pointed (pick)
• Head weight: 0.68 kg
• Handle: IsoCore shock-absorbing handle
• Use category: gardening, landscaping, light construction
• Tool balance: designed for controlled, repetitive striking

How to use

Hold the IsoCore handle with both hands at a comfortable distance to achieve control and leverage. Position the pointed head on the target area and strike with steady, controlled swings to penetrate compacted soil or to pry roots. For chipping, use short, accurate strikes rather than long, uncontrolled swings. Maintain a stable stance and clear the work area of obstacles before striking. After use, clean debris from the head and check the handle for secure attachment.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves and sturdy footwear. Use the pickaxe for tasks matching its size and head weight; for heavier demolition work choose tools with larger heads or mechanical equipment. Store the tool in a dry place and inspect the handle and head connection regularly to ensure safe operation.
