Yep Apex...had the same one for 10 years.. it will break me before I break it. Mostly coins and relics now. Light duty long handled with a super magnet. Similar to the Mako. Don’t like bending over. Back injury’s.
A pick is my primary digging tool the the Leche T handle in 31 and have the 38 I believe. Good stuff keep on....!
Thank you for the comment Bryan! Yes, huge fan of Apex here too. Going to do a video soon featuring shovels. Should be fun! 🤠⛏️
Great educational vid!! APEX all the way! As you know I use the D10 version. LOL
Most of all of this I learned from you!! 🤠⛏️ Yeah your pick is the earth mover!
Interesting you mention starting a fire with sparks from a pick. I did just that back in 98 on a very windy day, sparks from the pick on quarts float. That oily weed that grows in with grass out in that very area your doing this video at. Would have been really bad for me if it had gotten out of hand since I worked for corrections at a fire camp.
Yes!! I can see that... So you were able to knock it down before it took off? I worked many a mile of fireline flanks with a McCloud hand tool back in my younger days. 🧑🚒🚒

Luckily we had rain all the way into June in 98 and the grass was still green. The tar weed caught but not the grass, about 6 ft square spot. I was able to knock it down with my pick. We were back in about a mile and a half off Scott rd. I will never forget that day. I helped work building hand line when I was supervising YA crews on fire lines.
Great video, you don’t see many pick reviews….
Nice vid !
Thank you for the comment and for checking out the video!! 🙏🤠
Good advice and video. Thanks man!!!!!
Thank you Bill!! So appreciate the view and comment! 🙏😁
@@BrassMedic You bet. Always like your videos. Great instruction and tips!
Awesome video! What model apex pick are you using trying to match the weight to the handle.Looks good. Thanks!
what length is your apex ? looks great to dig thankyou
Hello, and thank you for the view and comment/question. I had that pick cut to 24 inches (61 cm) total, since the handle hozzle comes down 4 inches (10 cm), I have 20 inches (51 cm) of wood handle. I can highly recommend the picks made by Apex. Hope you will subscribe! 🤠⛏
i notice you have a predator shovel would you recommend a better shovel model by predator to dig in that hard ground. thanks
I do like my predator shovel, I have many shovels from different manufacturers and I can recommend different ones for different reasons but this particular shovel I like because it is lightweight but strong. Thank you for your view and comment/question!
Can you please tell me what is the model of the Apex pick?
