Pointed-Tip Rock Hammers - Rock Pick

The pointed-tip rock hammer is used mainly by geologists who are working in areas underlain by igneous and metamorphic rocks. Names given to this hammer include: pick hammer, rock picks, prospector's hammer, hard-rock hammer and pointed-tip hammer. The flat end of this tool is used for breaking rocks and light chisel work. The pointed end is used for prying rocks and prospecting in soil and loose rock debris. Always wear eye protection when using a rock hammer.
