Troubleshooting
Pick axe head feels loose
Re-seat the pick axe head onto the handle and ensure it is secured firmly, using a wedge if necessary and if your head design allows for it.
Rubber grip feels sticky
Wipe the grip with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals.
Handle appears cracked or damaged
Cease use immediately. Inspect the handle for significant damage. If the fibreglass is compromised, the handle should be replaced for safety.
