For more technical information about this iron hand tool of the osier worker, see the dutch version of this page. 

For maintenance works, in addition to a spade and an axe, the osier worker uses this iron tool to dig up dead tree stumps by stabbing its thick roots and then pounding it through the head of the stump, in order to be able to turn the latter on its axis, until it has come loose from its roots.

The tool is also used to split tree stumps to make firewood. [MOT]
