Some people find the woodgrain of a wooden handle more comfortable on the palm; others just prefer the look of varnished wood — in any case, our wooden shafted hammers continue to be a popular buy.

To prolong the life of a wooden-shafted hammer, it should be stored away from extremes of temperature, and to avoid excessively dry environments - shelves above radiators are definitely out!

A good hammer may suffice for most uses, but there are times when the rocks require a little extra persuasion to yield their innards.

For such occasions, we provide chisels in a range of sizes, with and without hand guards.

For general use, we recommend our 19 × 250mm model. We find that a hand guard makes for more comfortable use. Click here for chisels with no hand guards.

This hammer is designed to apply the maximum force with a minimum of effort.

Ideal for splitting large lumps of rock, the hammer is also well suited to driving chisels.

With a robust and lightweight fibreglass shaft — which is bright orange, to avoid accidental loss!

Head Weight: 907g / 2lb

The old adage 'be safe, be seen' wouldn't still be around if it didn't have a ring of truth to it. With many field courses requiring such vests, no student should be without one: but even the casual geologist — or worried parent — can find one of our lightweight and comfortable reflective jackets a valuable reassurance when working at roadside exposures or alone on the rocky shore.

Once you've found that coveted fossil, you're going to want to keep them safe.

These drawstring Tyvek™ specimen bags are perfect for sample storage.

For starters, they're breathable, preventing moisture and mould from accumulating on your fossils.

They're made from waterproof cloth, are sturdy and tear-resistant, and will resist the harsh conditions inevitably encountered by all keen geologists.

They can be written on in all conditions, making it easy to catalogue your specimens in the field, for instance with locality information.

No self-respecting rock or fossil collector should be without a supply of these sturdy reusable bags!
