5lb 15 1/2″ Cutter Mattock, 36″ Handle, Hickory Handle (Pack of 1)

Description

The  5 lb Cutter Mattock with a 36-inch Hickory Handle is a heavy-duty striking tool designed for digging, trenching, and cutting through thick roots in hard or compacted soils. This specific configuration typically features a forged steel head and a shock-absorbing American hickory handle. 

A highly-rated choice known for its overstrike protection and slip-eye connection for secure head retention. This tool is praised for its ruggedness and versatility, combining an axe-like cutter blade with a standard mattock blade. It uses genuine American hickory and is favored for professional jobsite use.

Known for its high-quality construction, this model features a 3.5-inch wide blade and a lifetime warranty.

• Head Weight: The 5 lb head provides significant momentum, reducing the effort needed to break through clay or rocky ground.
• Handle Material: Genuine American hickory is preferred for its natural ability to absorb vibration and reduce hand fatigue compared to fiberglass.
• Cutter Blade: Unlike a standard pick mattock, the cutter side is sharpened like an axe to slice through roots while digging.
• Overstrike Protection: Many modern models, such as the Toughstrike, include a protective guard near the head to prevent handle breakage if you miss your target.
