Pickaroons

Those came out great.

Good job. They will like those for sure.
I use one by Fiskars and it's great actually.
Great backsaver moving splits from the ground to the carriers and for reaching to pull splits and small logs out of the trailer.
Some say its a bit light for swinging, but I like it and it wont crack or rust and has a lifetime warranty.
They sure are a great added log handling tool.

I got that one too. I honestly forget I own it most of the time. I need to try to use it more.

My hookeroon is generally the firsst thing I look for whenloading the tools. I feel lost working wood without one.

Old age is really destroying my memory cells. I love my Stihl Hookaroon and use it all the time for unloading firewood out of the one ton wooden boxes where it is often just out of reach. Also for loading large rounds into the big Teleporter 1.5 ton bucket. However I keep losing the hookaroons in the dirt and sawdust and I need them so badly that I just order another. This is madness so I had a mega search through all the machinery, trucks, cars, saw mills, workshops, barns, woodlands........... and I found six !!!!
I have now branded them all with Roman numerals and each one has a place from which it shall be returned after use! no. 1 in the house by the wood stove, no. 11 in the garage, no.111 in the truck, no. 1V in the Kawasaki Mule, no V
in the Teleporter, and no. V1 on the Palax Combi processor.
I really need two more, one for the Lucas Mill and one for the Lockdown processor before I become sectioned!

I went and cut two truckloads of wood today and it didn’t even occur to me to grab it……must remember to try it again.

I also bought a Stihl Beaver hookaroon some time ago but never use it, too heavy and cumbersome

So roll your logs while riding your elephant?

My mind went to the worm hooks in "Dune"...

A friend that helps me with the big stuff has one of these and loves it - both of mine are old beaters I picked up at yard sales/someone found them in my barn and gave them to me. (I've had several others that either died, or I gave away, so not sure where my remaining two actually came from). No names, but don't look home made.

It's kind of interesting how they can look pretty much the same, but one can be vastly better for one person than another.

Also useful for yanking bales off a tall hay stack without impaling one's self on a hay hook.

I got a 36" one a few years ago. Makes life easier, wish I would of had one 20 years ago.

I swear I'm the only one I know that has one and uses one in my area.

I converted my cutting buddy to both the fiskars and pickaroon. Loaned him both one day. He showed up next day with one of each.

My buddies are all too cheap. Our local Stihl dealer won't even carry them. Menards has one though for $20.

Pric e is what kept me from buying one for many years. I considered $60 to be too much for what was basically a "nail in a stick". I kicked my rear good the first time I used one for not buying years before that.

And you’ll be the only one in your area that can keep doing it. Like many others I’m kicking myself for not buying one earlier. I’m moving wood like I’m 20 again and not hurting after
