Or a two piece?** A: This is two pieces, with a hollow handle. The description saying "forged in one piece" is generic for their one-piece hammers, and geo picks like the Burpee model. You can confirm this on Estwing's website. ALL their products say "solid American steel" but the description for this GP100 does NOT say "forged in once piece" like it does here on Amazon. There are half a dozen reviews with pictures showing where the hollow handle has become disconnected from the wide round socket in the head piece. Estwing's solid models do not have this clearly visible socket/lip where the head and handle connect, and are smooth tapered. **Q: New at fossil-hunting - in addition to this hammer, should I consider a smaller Estwing (maybe 13 oz.) for finer work? Thanks.** A: Hi, we use this for everything. Most fossils are in some type of limestone or shale. This works very well to clear debris and get into the non exposed layers. We use it for fossil and rock hunting. **Q: Whats the difference between this one, and the hundred dollar one?** A: $61. , more or less. **Q: How wide is the spade portion of this tool?** A: Jimmy, I measured mine and it's 2/14 wide. A buddy of mine has one and I used it and liked it so much that I went and bought my own.Glad I did, it's a great pick.It's not anything like those heavy clunky things I'm used to.Hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***C on 9 August 2025* First impression - no mistake. I haven't had it in the field yet. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by Y***N on 24 February 2025* Necesitaba un pico manejable pero duro de pelar, y esta herramienta me va a servir mucho mÃĄs que la picoleta que usaba para cavar en la roca ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by N***E on 25 October 2025* Excellent/oddball size ideal for "little" swings and scooping, very versitile, WELL MADE, moves rocks with ease, lever, I mean this thing is pretty gnarly. Its midevil dang near, and feels it. Very good weight distribution, feels like you got a robot appendage almost, nice hammered finish, works great in hard or soft soils, perfect rock finder, doesn't beat the tip...just does what its supposed to, no excuses. If I were a foot taller I'd buy another and use 2. ## Frequently Bought Together - ESTWING Geo/Paleo Rock Pick - 25" Geologist Tool with All Steel Construction & Vinyl Cushion Grip - GP100, Blue - ESTWING Gad Pry Bar - 18" Forged Geologist Tool with Pointed Tip & Chisel End - GP-18 - ESTWING Rock Pick - 22 oz Geology Hammer with Pointed Tip & Shock Reduction Grip - E3-22P --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/255828046-gp-100-geologist-paleo-pick-blue-25](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/255828046-gp-100-geologist-paleo-pick-blue-25) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
