## Description

The Burpee Pick is a must for geologist and paleontologists. Solidly made 17” in overall length (approx.) and forged in one piece, this pick was designed with the professional in mind. 3 magnets in the side of the head allow for material analysis. The Shock Reduction Grip reduces impact stress.

Review: Versatile, sturdy and comfortable. - I use this for semi precious gemstone mining specifically chalcedony. There is a lot of digging and prying and scratching involved this pick is ideal for that. incredibly sturdy and exactly the right size to also use in small tunnels. Considering the gemstones this pick has helped me dig out and the quality of the tool I think the price is good. Since i can work with it all day without tiring i consider it to be very light and the grip fits my hand very well.
Review: Expensive but well worth it - This is a very high quality pick- it does not have a hammer for breaking open rocks, but I just brought a standard hammer with me. Not cheap by any means, but feels great in your hand and will last a lifetime.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How wide is the blade?**
A: I’ll estimate 7/8” to 1” max width. It’s in storage at the moment but I’ve used it a bunch crevacing on bedrock in AZ. Nice strength for deeper cracks.

**Q: Does this pick really have magnets? I can't see them in the head image.**
A: Yes. 3 small magnets

**Q: Trying to decide between this and the 25 inch estwing geo/paleo pick for rockhounding with my kids? any advice?**
A: Unless you need to be breaking rocks, like quarrying, the Burpee Pick is probably plenty. If you are planning to park the kids a few feet away while you do overhead swings to bust rocks, then go up to the 25-inch geo/paleo pick.

**Q: Anybody know where I can order a sheath?**
A: I made my own, go to a craft store - leather rivets / leather.  It looks very similar to the Geology hammer sheath that Estwing sells or you can get standard hammer loop ( the point and cutting head will not be covered) Good luck!!!
