Mine is a Dixie and shaped like Jere's. I wonder if the ones with more hook would work better. Don't be bashful about filing to a very sharp point, so you never want to hit anything but wood. Dull tools are more aggravating and dangerous. I use mine mostly for off loading wood from the trailer/truck or moving large round firewood that is sitting on the end. Sock it in near the bottom and lift and spin, like moving the wood into place under the hydro splitter when in vertical position. I never cut wood without it. Big back saver.
I made my own hookaroon. It is a must have handy tool. I can pull, push or lift with it. A plus is I can stick it in the ground and it is alway standing nearby ready for use. I never knew of a hookarron. A member here posted a thread on homemade hookaroons. I always carry it with me when working firewood.
