Best Rock Pick or Rock Hammer

This rock hammer from industry leaders Estwing is our top recommendation for professionals and amateurs alike. These picks perform brilliantly and they last, many owners have had their Estwing for decades. A cheaper pick is unlikely to perform as well and will probably need replacing much sooner which is false economy. And the leather handle makes it a pleasure to use.

Estwing E30 Leather Grip Typical review: "Estwing has been making rock hammers for a long time and they are the industry standard. I am working on a graduate degree in Geosciences and the Estwing hammer is the rock hammer that I was informed to obtain by my professors and fellow students.
Leather vs. plastic grip is probably simply personal preference, but I very much prefer the leather grip for the originality." More Estwing E30 22Oz reviews

This is the most popular rock hammer. If the leather handled rock hammer isn't to your taste or budget then this is a cheaper option with the same functionality and a nylon grip.

Typical Review:"I have had my Estwing for 30 years now- ever since Geology field camp as an undergrad. It has held up with no problems at all. It hasn't even needed grinding to re-point it, but then I work primarily in softer rock. It has split and chipped its share of glacial erratics, however. There are fancier looking hammers out there, but the one piece construction and molded-on grip will truly last you a life time. " More Estwing E3-22P reviews
