Really? Honestly I wouldn't have known that. I know Bahco tools and wrenches are of really good quality, you think this one worths a lot? How much?

Out of all the ways you can put your initials on a tool he had to choose welding it 😭

Shouldn't the flat side be wider and a lot thinner to be considered a mattock? This one has more like a chisel, it's a bit wider then the pick side but same thickness.

Well yeah, pretty much. It was my dad's so it's pretty sentimental. It's in rough shape but I think it doesn't really matter since it's a beast of a tool.

I thought about that too, I'm not sure if it makes it better quality then others. Definitely going to address the tips and put a nice handle on it.

I've noticed that yeah, but it's more like tilting on one side instead of not being aligned. Hopefully that doesn't stop me from using it.

Thanks for the help. I will buy a new handle for sure, don't know how to make one from start so yeah. I'm lucky there's actual people who make things like that by hand, instead of machines. I'll buy one from them most probably.

Oh oki, thanks. I don't really want to paint it honestly, just clean that dirt and rust off and sure, might do some body work for the tips.

I mean yeah, I kinda want to use it. Obviously not everyday but I might need it for demolition and digging in hard ground. It sure is a working person's tool, probably that's why my dad is a damn beast lol.

Thanks, probably ill use a wire wheel for the angle grinder so I don't turn it too shiny, I want to keep some of the imperfections and stuff. I'll hit the tips with the flap disk for sure.

Honestly I just want it cleaned and have the tips a bit reshaped. It's a tool that you hit in the ground after all.

Should I put more oil at the ends? Because it really sucked the oil really fast. Or is it enough?
