pickax

n. hoe, mattock, tool for spreading soil; small hammer, pick, tool for breaking up soil

A pickaxe is a hand tool with a hard head attached perpendicular to the handle. Some people make the distinction that a pickaxe has a head with a pointed end and a flat end, and a pick has both ends pointed, or only one end; but most people use the words to mean the same thing.The head is usually made of metal, and the handle is most commonly wood, metal or fiberglass.
