The invention discloses an electric pick which comprises a shell, an
impact mechanism and a transmission mechanism, a gear box and a driving motor are arranged in the shell, a front straight
barrel is fixedly arranged on the front portion of the gear box, an iron head is fixedly connected to the front end of the front straight
barrel, an
assembly hole allowing a working head to be installed in is formed in the iron head, and the
impact mechanism comprises an air cylinder, a
piston, a rammer and a hammer rod. The
piston and the rammer are arranged in the air cylinder in a
reciprocating motion mode, the
piston is connected with the transmission mechanism, the hammer rod is used for bearing
impact of the rammer and impacting the working head installed in the
assembly hole forwards, a
handle is installed on the rear portion of the shell and can move front and back relative to the shell, and a first elastic piece is supported between the
handle and the shell. A front step and a rear step are arranged on the inner wall of the
assembly hole, a front impact stopping sleeve, a
rear impact stopping sleeve and a first buffering
rubber ring are arranged between the front step and the rear step, impact of forward impact of the hammer rod and backward impact of the working head can be buffered, and the hand holding feeling is good.
