pick axe
Miner's breaking implement
A pickaxe is a hand tool with a heavy metal head mounted on a wooden handle, used for breaking up hard ground, rock, or pavement.
One end of the head is pointed for piercing; the other is typically flat like a chisel or axe blade.
The tool is associated with mining, excavation, and construction work: Workers swung pickaxes to break through the frozen soil.
