Railroad Clay Pick

A time-honored tool of railroad track workers for over a century, the Clay Pick remains in use by the industry today but has also found wide use in other industries and among home- and land-owners.

With a square pick point at one end for chipping, breaking, and loosening and a chisel-like point at the other for cutting and digging, the Clay Pick is an effective tool for working with clay and other hard or compacted soils. This tool improves upon the foundation of AREMA Plan #1, the Warwood Tool Railroad Clay Pick weighs 8 lbs and has a chisel end that is 1-1/4” wide with a 1/2” bevel. Its overall length from point to point is 25” and it has a #6 eye.

Versions on the clay pick are made by numerous companies and available online and in hardware stores. Unlike most of them, Warwood’s Railroad Clay Pick is hand-forged in the U.S.A. from premium American steel — the same way we’ve done it since 1854.
