Beats me. I'm not sure how to measure it precisely. It is, without a doubt, the thickest ice pick I have ever seen or owned. It appears to have a lot of force behind it.
It's what I use to break up solid ice in an old, leaking ice cube maker. Because the point is very sharp and will most likely cut through the sides of a freezer, I would not use it to break the ice off the sides. Instead of using a wooden spatula, you should use a metal one.
There isn't a cover included. It would be nice if it did.
This is a well-made ice pick, but it isn't particularly heavy-duty. The wooden handle is real wood (I'm not sure what kind of wood it is).

Ice stabber that is powered by electricity. My mother says: Law's old ice pick finally broke apart, and no amount of glue or duct tape could repair it. Despite the fact that she now has an ice maker and a frost-free freezer and no longer has to chip ice blocks, she missed poking holes in her ice cubes - or perhaps she just missed the thrill of stabbing something - Who knows for sure? We bought it for her because it looked a lot like her previous one. It's well-made and should last at least as long as her previous one. The gleam in her eye when we handed it to her reminded me of Norman Bates from "Psycho," but she's only used it on her ice cubes so far.
One might think that finding the perfect ice pick does not necessitate a lengthy shopping trip, but I did just that, and I'm happy to report that I have finally found one. Some ice pick tines were reported to have bent, or the blade and handle separated from one another in fairly short order, after poring over a number of really excellent reviews here on Amazon for various other ice picks; Some were said to last a week, two weeks, or two months. As a result, before writing this review, I spent some time practicing with my new ice pick. I originally purchased it because I have a self-contained freezer. Every night, it defrosts, causing my ice cubes to melt, resulting in ice water that has re-frozen by morning. A small frozen pond has formed on the bottom of the ice bucket. I'm glad I bought this particular ice pick; it makes quick work of this, and I now have a lot more usable ice without a lot of headache, and it's clearly built to last. I'm glad I bought this particular ice pick, and I hope you'll "pick" one up for yourself when you're in need!.
Now is the time to get your own! I'm not sure what's the matter with Mother-in-Law. Laws and ice picks are two things that come to mind when thinking about ice picks. My dementia patient would go off on tangents every few months, searching the kitchen for an ice pick to use for things that could have been done just as easily and quickly with other tools without the need to spend so much time looking for that ice pick- The icepick, on the other hand, has never been discovered. So, after reading T, I sealed the deal by buying her a new one here. The opinion of C. When I handed it to her, she asked, "What is this for?" I explained that you'd been looking for an ice pick for the past two years, so I went out and bought you one. She gives me a sarcastic look and says, "Ooo, I can't wait to use it!" lucky me. If I'm killed by a sledgehammer. You'll be able to figure out who was the perpetrator. hmm. I'm starting to think this wasn't such a good idea, and I should probably ungift it. She'll most likely forget. ehh. It's best to keep it and reduce the number of kitchen searches. br> Item arrived quickly and was well packaged in the kind of packaging that would be appropriate for a store hanging-type item. rack. sturdy enough to reach into deep, tight home crevices for detail cleaning or to poke holes in the bottoms of yogurt containers to upcycle for gardening/planting use. Since we buy bags of ice, I haven't tried it on actual ice yet, but I'll let you know if it fails. The matte natural wood handle is smooth but not polished or lacquered, which is a good thing. Originally, I was looking for an ice pick with a knuckle guard because whenever I've used my meat thermometer as an ice pick to break up the melted stuck chunks out of the bagged ice, I've noticed that I keep smashing my hand into the hard sharp ice boulders and cringing due to the non ergonomic way of gripping the thing for effective ice busting. Such an ice pick doesn t appear thus far so if you are a product developer and like my idea and use it to make a better ice pick, please send me 5% of% I appreciate you taking the time to read this.
What you should be looking for is a tip design. According to the reviews, it appears that some of them were written about a different ice pick, or that some users simply left a review for any similar ice pick. br>br>I'm particularly pleased with this selection. The handle is large enough to feel like you're holding a tool that'll get the job done, the carbon steel is tough, and the way the tip is shaped appears to be the key to easily splitting ice: it's tapered at the tip but extended at the very end, like an ink pen. This feature allows you to make the best decision. br>br>.
Simply put, if you don't use a cutting board underneath whatever you're dismantling, you'll end up with a hole in your counter top. For what I require, it performs admirably.
It's not a bad icepick for the price. It wasn't a big deal that the icepick's tip wasn't perfectly ground. For $5, I have no complaints. I just used this icepick as a donor for a Jimmy Diresta-inspired icepick that I made as a birthday present. It was a success, and the price was unbeatable. It would be nice if the pick was made of tool steel, but I understand that it's only for ice and not for scribing metal or other harsh abuse.
I used to think that having an ice pick in your bar was a bit ridiculous, but I frequently freeze teas, juices, and fruit to use as the base for drinks, and unlike plain ice, those can't be broken up in a canvas bag, and muddling leaves you with large chips. This is a lifesaver in my opinion. It's up there with the Boston shaker, muddler, and jigger as the four most important bar tools in my opinion. (And believe me when I say it's nothing like wielding a knife. ) I tried breaking up many chunks of fruit with a knife and ended up with bent blades and cut hands as a result - Knives have a tendency to slip off the chunks, but this handy tool makes short work of it.
This icepick has a lot of power. br>I experimented with ice and found it to be completely ineffective. I used it to get rid of cinder blocks. It was nothing yet again. I tried it again with bricks, and they were no match. The pick is still stuck after I drove it into 1/2" plywood. Because it went in deep and is stuck to a wall stud, I'll have to saw it out. I documented it with photos and video.
