镐, 鹤嘴锄
a hand tool with a pointed end on one side and a flat chisel-like blade on the other, used for breaking up hard surfaces such as rocks, soil, or concrete
A pickaxe is a hand tool used for breaking hard ground, rocks, or other tough materials. It has a long handle, usually made of wood or fiberglass, with a heavy, pointed metal head at one or both ends. One end typically features a sharp point for breaking through surfaces, while the other may have a flat blade for digging or prying. Pickaxes are commonly used in mining, construction, and gardening to loosen soil, break up concrete, or remove rocks. The tool’s design makes it effective for heavy-duty tasks requiring a lot of force.
