This heavy grubber or Tomyhawk seems to be a peculiarly Cornish type and used for a variety of purposes.
This heavy grubber seems to be a peculiarly Cornish type of tool although similar tools, usually smaller, have also been used in parts of Wales. In West Cornwall the tool is called a 'tomyhawk' and is used for a variety of purposes. In the first place it is used as a mattock to break up stony soil, while secondly it is used as a dung fork to pull dung from carts in the field. Another use of the tomyhawk is to pull down earth built hedges.
