GEKO G66526 2.5 kg Pickaxe with Wooden Handle
A tool for groundwork and construction, combining a 2.5 kg steel head with a wooden handle that absorbs shock and offers a natural grip.
Technical features
2.5 kg head weight
The weight of the head determines the striking force and the range of applications. At 2.5 kg it is heavy enough to penetrate compacted ground and break up stones effectively while keeping the tool under control during long hours of work. A lower weight would require more strikes; a higher weight would lead to faster fatigue.
Wooden handle
Wood as a handle material absorbs the vibration generated by impacts, reducing strain on the wrist and elbow joints. The natural fibre structure of wood gives a better grip than synthetic materials, particularly when working in damp conditions. Wood does not heat up in the sun or become cold at low temperatures.
Steel head
The steel head resists deformation when striking hard surfaces. Its shape, with a sharp point at one end, makes it possible to penetrate the ground, while the broader end is used to loosen and break up material.
Balanced design
The distribution of weight between the head and the handle affects working efficiency. Correct balance makes it possible to use kinetic energy on the swing without excessive effort on the part of the user, which translates into accurate strikes and less fatigue.

Use and maintenance
Securing the head
Before starting work, check that the head is seated firmly on the handle. Play between the head and the handle can damage the tool or cause injury. If the head works loose, it can be secured with a steel wedge driven into the top of the handle.
Protecting the wooden handle
Wood naturally absorbs moisture, which can cause it to swell or crack. After finishing work, particularly in damp conditions, it is worth wiping the handle with a dry cloth. Periodic treatment of the handle with linseed oil extends its service life and protects it from drying out.
Swinging technique
The effectiveness of a pickaxe depends on the swing technique. The movement should come from the shoulders, not just the arms, which allows the weight of the tool and gravity to be used. Strikes should be delivered at an angle of about 45 degrees to the ground surface, which ensures optimal penetration of the blade.
