Attack Styles
Toolbelt
On a toolbelt, the primal pickaxe can be used to automatically mine rocks containing ores, rocks blocking one's path and rocks in the Stomp boss's room. Additionally, it is used automatically as a side-attack to chip away at the Bulwark beast's armour if using a melee weapon.
Players can bind this tool regardless of their Mining level. If they do not have the required Mining level, then the pickaxe temporarily acts as the pickaxe of the highest usable tier. For this reason, it is recommended to add this tool to one's toolbelt if gotten as a drop from the Bulwark beast.

Trivia
- Its stab bonus is between a Gorgonite rapier and a Promethium rapier. Its slash bonus beats a Dragon scimitar by 2. Its strength bonus surpasses a Saradomin sword or Abyssal whip by 10.
- Before the Dungeoneering toolbelt update, where players could add a pickaxe and hatchet of any tier to it, it was very rare to see this or a Primal Hatchet within a dungeon.
