I was breaking ice in a pond yesterday and was wondering what is the best tool to get the job done? Assume, you cannot get any equipment within 30' of the ponds, so it needs to be a hand tool. I was using a pick and also an axe. Is there a better tool that will work? I was thinking maybe a sledgehammer or possibly a splitting maul.
What have you folks that have to break ice routinely found to be best?
