Wikipedia
This is an article about a tool. For other uses, see pick (disambiguation)''.A pick is a tool used for manual labour which consists of a hard spike attached perpendicular to a handle.The spike, commonly made of metal, may curve slightly, and often has a counter-weight to improve ease of use. The stronger the spike, the more effectively the tool can function.A pick is often used to break up hard or rocky surfaces. The momentum given by swinging the pick, combined with the very small area of impact, magnifies the labourer's ability to pierce the surface. Rocking the embedded spike about and removing it can then break up the surface.Originally used as agricultural tools as far back as prehistoric cultures, picks have also served for tasks ranging from mining to warfare. The design has also evolved into other tools such as the plough and the mattock.Compare with !icepick.de:Hackede:Pickja:ピ㠃ƒã‚¯Category:Mechanical? hand tools
