This tool serves three functions: as a sampling hammer to chip or break large rocks, as a pick, and as a hammer to drive the drive tubes or other pieces of lunar equipment. has a small hammer face on one end, a broad flat blade on the other, and large hammering flats on the sides. The handle, made of aluminum, is 36 cm (14 inches) long; its lower end fits the extension handle when the tool is used as a hoe.
