      That is reason, why pickaxes produced in my country has 10 times higher price. Just small little improvement by extremly precise heat threatment. Also final cure by burned oil instead that brown colour would make luxury look for customers. Here isnt unordinary to own 100 years old pickaxe with highest quality possible. Just extremly luxury threated steel and wood could be sold for 100 dollars here :D Also that plastic bag on the end making look of cheap trash.

One of our engineers brought back a chinese hard hat. It was made of bamboo twigs and looked like an 1800s English pith helmet. It had braided nylon rope for a headband. And this is supposedly in an advanced country. Life is cheap in Asia.

      @@maplebones Why? (I' asking as a metallurgical engineer). I just simplified the name. Hot working by forging in this temperature with subsequent free cooling in air on such a low carbon steel will result in ferritic structure with poor hardness, decarburization of surface, and also the grain size would be pretty bad (with segregation also). Mechanical properties will be like annealed, or worse.

      I would suspect that whoever contracted for these tools (maybe government or military or an exporter) wrote a specification for the size tool they wanted. I noted that all the keepers weighed around 1.65kg, which is a reasonable weight for pickaxe head. Pickaxes seem to be sold by head weight, and it's quite possible this workshop was awarded a contract for a certain number of that sized pickaxes. I would further suspect that the underweight tools will "disappear" under cover of darkness and be sold off locally or to another (or even the same!) exporter as seconds.
      Standard weight is a good thing for end consumers, so you can judge what sized tool you need for your job. And also good for importers who are paying a $1.80 each in quantity. They don't want the hassle of unloading a container full or odd sized odd weighted tools!

    Plant layout and material handling is a major subject in production engineering. This concept is probably not there in Pakistan. Zero safety practices as rusted, hot metal is thrown all over the floor, plastic sandals what not....Also didn't understand as why that guy is using clothe to paint the product? he can simply dip them in one shot and save time. Another point is they must weigh the material before making the product but they start with random piece of old iron

    So strange to watch men work with such dangerous equipment and with no PPE whatsoever. Life is too precious to be living it blind, or crippled through accident and injuries sustained at work. All for a ‘pick axe’ !!! Crazy !!!

    The skill these men have is amazing.
    But how much can you sell these pick heads for to recover the costs and pay them for the work .
