Do any of you's guys use one? and do ya realize the back aches they save? If ya ever "piece cut".....ya know the value of one...........easiest way to move a piece of wood on the ground with out bending over......I used to have one, that was hand made..... it had a small blade on the back for chopping, and the hook had a nice flat L shaped hook tip.......just drop it into a log and it was hooked........a flick of the wrist and it was unhooked. I've never seen one like it in anywhere else........in logger slang.....a peckeroo

Wannabe Pulaski?

Howdy, it looks like Pulaski with the mattock end cut shorter. Just my 2 cents, Dave.

A pickeroon has just a single "finger" like prong on it and axe blade. It's light and handy. I've seen them along but don't own one. Probably ought to. I wonder how it would work picking up firewood? Guys around here use them for moving pulp sticks.

Here's a place that sells them. Lots of other cool stuff too. Looks like the original(?) Peavey Co. is still in business.
