Prospector's Rock Hammer Starter Hammer Very Light Duty

Looks just like the real rock hammer. One square face for cracking rock and a pointed face for chipping rock. This hammer is a good starter hammer if you're not sure you're realy going rockhounding a lot or just for that special trip. Carry it as a spare in your vehicle just incase you come across an interesting rock cut. Great hammer for kids with it's small diameter handle and light weight. A cheap rock hammer is a great way to start young geologist off just to make sure how long their interest in geology or rockhounding will last. With the head pressed onto a hollow steel shaft don't expect it to last a lifetime but you'll easily get few collecting trips out of it. But then, you're not paying the price of a all steel drop forged hammer like the Estwing or Valley rock hammers either.

  • Rock hammer with a square hammer face and a chipping pick on the other

  • Light weight

3cheap and doing OK  Sep 29, 2010
By akabc47
I have used this rock hammer on my field trip last weekend. It worked OK. It's better than nothing, but the sharp end got curled soon after I tried to dig some brachipods from limestone. It is not hard enough. However, considering the cheap price, it's still OK. But you shouldn't expect more.

4Rock Hammer OK  Dec 04, 2009
By Clarence "Morningbear"
Moderately soft face good for breaking off chunks though I had to sharpen the chisel end and harden it some so it would stand up to hard igneous rocks like basalt. For the low price it is recommended.

4Good All Around Rock Hound Pick for the money!  Oct 18, 2011
By John Mark Pool
This is not quite the heavey duty industrial quality of the Estwing Brands, but it is not near the price either. This is a general purpose Rock Hammer to add to my bag. I had to try this pick out to see if the half price was half quality. It is far better than half quality. I recommend for general to light rock pick use. Oh, yes, just go try to find one of these in Home Depot! Rare is the find! Use Amazon for this one for sure!

We bought this rockpick for our grandson because we were going to Utah where he could look for jasper, quartz, agate and some fossils. He enjoyed using it and found some gypsum too.

5Good value!  Jul 06, 2009
By R. Hugger
Good value for the price! Most places want twice what I paid for this identical hammer. Seems to be of top quality, too.
