A mattock is a versatile hand tool used for digging and chopping. It typically has a long handle, similar to that of a pickaxe, with a blade on one side and an adze or hoe on the other. The blade side is used for digging into hard or rocky soil, while the adze side is used for chopping through roots or breaking up soil. Mattocks are commonly used in gardening, landscaping, and agricultural work, where their combination of digging and chopping capabilities makes them useful for a variety of tasks.
