Troubleshooting

Head feels loose on the handle

Check the connection point for debris; if the head remains loose, do not use it, and inspect the handle for cracks or consider professional repair.

Difficulty penetrating dry ground

Ensure you are swinging at the correct angle; striking too vertically may cause bouncing. Use a slight angle to allow the pick to bite into the surface.

Surface rust appearing on the head

Use a wire brush to remove the rust and apply a thin layer of machine oil before storage to protect the steel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This tool requires no complex assembly or setup; it is ready to use immediately. To maintain the life of your mattock, keep the steel head free from moisture when stored to prevent oxidation. After each use, wipe away dirt and mud. Periodically inspect the handle-to-head connection to ensure the fit remains tight. If working in abrasive or rocky conditions, you may occasionally need to sharpen the pick tip using a metal file to maintain its penetrating efficiency. Always store the tool in a dry, covered area to preserve the integrity of the handle.
