Spent $80 on a rock hammer and it saved my whole trip

I was out near Sedona trying to get a clean sample of some banded chert, but my old hammer just kept shattering the pieces I wanted. I finally bought a decent Estwing rock pick for about eighty bucks before I went back out. Anyone have a favorite tool for getting good samples without wrecking them?

Used to think that was overkill.

Wait, you actually thought that was too much? I'm shook. That's like the bare minimum these days, no lie. I can't even imagine going back to how things were before. It's honestly wild to me that anyone ever saw it as extra.
