Q: What's the difference between the cultivator and pick mattock ends?
The cultivator end has four tines for loosening soil and pulling weeds, while the mattock end is a wider blade for chopping roots and cutting narrow trenches.
PA315 - Cultivator & Pick Mattock Set
These high-quality, Japanese-made mattocks are surprisingly lightweight and well balanced for comfortable one-handed use.
The cultivator mattock has a 4" long, four-tine cultivator end for digging and clearing debris, and a mattock end (3" long with a 2 3/4" wide blade) for chopping small roots and trenching. The pick mattock has a 3" pick end for breaking up compacted soil, and a 3" long by 2 1/2" wide mattock end.
Each has a tough, rust-resistant stainless-steel head, a 14" long Japanese white oak handle with a rubber grip, and an exposed wedge that can be tapped to tighten the handle if required.
Also available individually, these are good tools for smaller gardens.
The cultivator end has four tines for loosening soil and pulling weeds, while the mattock end is a wider blade for chopping roots and cutting narrow trenches.
Its pick end breaks up compacted or rocky soil that a standard digging tool can't penetrate, while the mattock end handles chopping and trenching once the ground is loosened.
An offset wedge tightens the head onto the handle as the wood around the slot cracks slightly, which is by design and strengthens the joint rather than weakening it.
Yes, both tools in this mattock set are sized and balanced for one-handed use, leaving your other hand free to clear debris or hold back plants.
