Pickaxe GEKO Kilof 2.5 kg with wooden handle G66526

GEKO Kilof 2.5 kg pickaxe with wooden handle G66526 is a manual digging and breaking tool designed for use in gardening, construction groundwork and landscaping. The tool features a 2.5 kg forged metal head shaped for levering and chipping and a fitted wooden handle that provides shock absorption and control during repetitive use. Its balanced design focuses on effective soil penetration, root removal and breaking compacted or frozen ground.

Advantages

The pickaxe head is forged to offer strength and edge retention for chipping and levering tasks while the wooden handle reduces vibration and improves grip comfort. At 2.5 kg the head delivers sufficient impact force for breaking dense soil and small rocks while remaining manageable for manual operation. The combined design supports accurate strikes and prolonged use with conventional maintenance such as handle inspection and secure head fitting.

Suitable for

• Breaking compacted or clay soil in gardens and allotments
• Removing roots and stumps during planting or clearing
• Preparing trenches and foundations for small construction projects
• Landscaping tasks such as edging, creating planting beds and ground leveling

Key specifications

• Head weight: 2.5 kg
• Head material: forged metal
• Handle type: wooden haft
• Tool type: manual pickaxe for digging and breaking

How to use

Grip the wooden handle with both hands spaced to control swing and accuracy. Position the pickaxe head against the target ground or root and use controlled, deliberate strikes to chip or pry material; avoid excessive twisting that could loosen the head. For levering, use the pointed or chisel-shaped end as appropriate to pry up stones or roots, and use the broader face for breaking compacted soil. After use, store the tool in a dry place to protect the wooden handle and inspect the head-to-handle connection before each use.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves and sturdy footwear. Regularly check the wooden handle for cracks and ensure the head is securely fitted before starting work. Sharpen or dress the head only when necessary and follow safe tool maintenance practices to extend service life.
