INTERTOOL Hand Pick Axe HT08-0303 – 15-Inch Forged Steel Mattock with Anti-Slip Handle

Rugged versatility in one compact mattock

The INTERTOOL HT08-0303 Hand Pick Axe is a 1.5 lb forged steel mattock designed to tackle hard soils with control and comfort. Its dual-head design pairs a pick and an adze hoe, letting you break ground, pry roots, and loosen soil without swapping tools. The 15-inch fiberglass handle keeps you positioned for precision while remaining portable enough for outdoor use, and the anti-slip rubber grip dampens vibration for steadier handling on tough patches.

Durability meets thoughtful ergonomics. The steel head is heat-treated for strength and edge retention, and it resists rust over time, so you can rely on a sharp edge when you need it. The lightweight construction remains balanced, helping you maneuver through dense soil or stubborn roots without excessive fatigue. The detachable head enables quick assembly and compact storage, making it easy to pack for camping trips or tidy up your shed shelf.

Ergonomic design matters for longer sessions. The 15-inch fiberglass handle not only places the tool at a comfortable working height, but also helps balance the weight so you can target roots and stones with minimal wrist strain. The anti-slip grip reduces hand fatigue and improves control on uneven ground, giving you a steadier feel from start to finish.
