Pallares Solsona Spanish Cutting Mattock

Pallares Solsona Spanish Cutting Mattock
£37.00
Ex Tax: £30.83

A strong cutting or grubbing mattock, forged in carbon steel by Pallares Solsona in Spain. With an 80cm wooden handle, this tool is really useful for breaking up and digging out areas of ground, even where compacted. Designed especially to help in 'grubbing' out the roots of shrub and trees from the soil, this mattock is much more effective than using a spade. Use for removing bushes, breaking ground for new flower beds and digging out stubborn roots of trees, among other jobs around the garden. Brush off dirt after use, and oil both handle and metal to keep the tool in good condition.

By purchasing this item you are confirming that you are over the age of 18, and that we may contact you prior to dispatch in order to verify this. Orders including any bladed items will incur an additional courier age verification charge and legally require delivery to persons aged 18 and over.

Care Advice

Hand wash only, and never leave soaking. Dry immediately, followed with a light coating of camellia or a mineral oil. Store in a dry environment to prevent rust formation. A sharp knife is a safe knife — use a honing rod to keep a fine edge, and sharpen with a stone when necessary. Treat the wooden handle with a mineral oil when necessary to condition the wood and prevent warping and cracking.
