This is the tool to have for scraping and cleaning irregular bedrock surfaces. The six independent “fingers” are made of tough yet flexible spring action steel. This allows them to conform to uneven surfaces as you press down, reaching into crevices and pockets. The long angled tips grab loose bedrock and cemented pebbles, pulling them loose. Excellent for loosening both wet and dry material, this is a great tool for every prospectors kit. A slider bar pulls the fingers together for easy stowing. Overall length about 12″ with a 4-3/4″ tethered easy grip handle, weighing under 8 ounces.
