Upgrade your masonry kit with the ultimate precision dual-purpose hammer: the TROW And HOLDEN (USA) 16oz (0.45kg) Rock Pick Carbide Blade and Bushing Head With 12 Inch (30cm) Wood Handle (SKU HRP16BH). Proudly manufactured in Barre, Vermont, this industrial-grade rock pick combines a standard USA Vaughan brick hammer chassis with Trow & Holden’s proprietary, ultra-durable tungsten carbide inserts. It is the premier choice for stonemasons, hardscapers, and geologists who require an agile, lightweight striking tool that outlasts ordinary steel options on repetitive light trimming work.
🛠️ Key Product Features
• Dual-Function Carbide Head Layout: Features a premium tungsten carbide-tipped cutting blade on one end for crisp fracturing and clean material removal, paired with an integrated 9-point carbide bushing head on the opposite face for precise leveling, high-spot reduction, and stippled texture finishing.
• Lightweight 16oz Agile Handling: The 16oz (0.45kg) precision-balanced head provides maximum swinging control and striking agility, making it ideal for processing delicate stone veneer, thin flagstone, architectural sandstone, and fieldstone blocks.
• Premium 12-Inch Wood Handle: Fitted with a robust 12-inch (30cm) shock-absorbing hickory wood handle designed to reduce localized hand fatigue and joint stress under continuous daily operations.
• Unmatched Edge Retention: Trow & Holden's specialized solid carbide formulation resists rapid dulling, structural degradation, and friction wear, holding a sharp splitting edge significantly longer than ordinary steel masonry hammers.
💎 Why Choose the Trow & Holden Bushing and Blade Rock Pick?
Standard steel rock hammers lose their edge profiles rapidly, causing them to slip or deflect off hard natural stone surfaces. The Trow & Holden HRP16BH dual-head profile resolves this problem by delivering two core techniques in a single tool body. The carbide blade is perfectly engineered for controlled, repetitive scoring and snapping of thin materials. Flip the tool around, and the 9-point bushing matrix acts as a surface miniature-scabbler, allowing you to instantly flatten high ridges, erase saw marks, or add uniform rustic textures directly onto the face of your stone installation.
Technical Specifications:
• Head Weight: 16oz / 1 lb (approx. 0.45kg)
• Blade Setup: Tungsten Carbide Insert (1-inch width)
• Opposing Face: 9-Point Solid Carbide Bushing Tooth Matrix
• Handle Specs: 12-Inch (30cm) Genuine Wood Handle
• Optimized Applications: Light trimming, cleaning masonry joints, texturing stone faces, and splitting thin flagstone layers.
⚠️ Manufacturer Best Practices (Carbide Tool Care)
• Intentional Striking Only: This premium pick is structurally designed for striking stone surfaces only. Never swing aggressively or use this hammer to strike other high-tensile steel tools, chisels, or alternative hammers.
• Flush Contacts: To maximize the operational life of the carbide tips, ensure the bushing head makes full, flush contact with the stone face. Avoid mis-striking or leveraging the stone with the sharp outermost corners of the hammer.
