28" Hookaroon Saves Your Back - Lift, Drag, & Load Heavy Rounds of Firewood and Split Wood - Sharp and Lightweight Pick Tool for Logs - Pickaroon Logging Tool - Forestry Tools

This is a very handy tool to have when chopping firewood, cutting wood with a chainsaw, or even just scrounging up firewood for a campfire. It not only saves your back from having to reach down all the way to pick the wood up off the ground, but it adds a measure of safety too - since there can be all sorts of nasty critters hiding beneath or clinging onto logs and firewood, from spiders and scorpions to snakes. This will at least put them at arm's length as you use the device to stick into the top or bottom soft spots of a log and pull the wood up from the ground. For the outdoors woodsman, this tool is a must! Fiskars brand is excellent quality, and balances well in the hand. 5-Stars! Highly recommended!

This is one of the most useful purchases that I have made on Amazon in a long time. I highly recommend this pickaroon. I purchased this Fiskars pickaroon at the same time that I purchased a second, heavier, hardwood handled, pickaroon. When I compared them both right out of the package I was initially concerned about the very light weight of the Fiskars against the 3-4X heavier steel and wood model. I had seen several reviews on (YT) about the light weight Fiskars, mentioning that the lack of overall mass could potentially be an issue with driving the pickaroon into some harder rounds. I assumed that the light weight Fiskars would need to be relegated to my lighter, softer, Digger Pine rounds and splits, and that the other, heavy duty model would be what I would need to use for the extremely heavy, rock hard rounds that I had cut from several, long dried, wind-fall Blue Oaks that have been down on my property for a few years. Boy was I wrong about that. In actual use, the heavier tool tended to bounce right out of the hard wood. Even with a hefty swing and good centered aim, the slightly wider taper on the head had trouble sticking far enough into the Oak round to hold on well. That is after I had taken a file to the point to give it a better bite, or so I thought. I picked up the light weight, almost toy like by comparison, Fiskars and to my surprise, every single oak round that I swung it on stuck like glue. These are seriously stone-like, "seasoned on the stump" dense, hard, dried Blue Oak rounds. Many weighing a good 20-25# and some much more. Due to the geometry of the sharp, square-edged point on the Fiskars tool, it sticks so well with a light to moderate swing that it takes a bit of effort to twist/roll it out of its grip on the end of the round. Picking up a stuck round to place it on the splitter bed, there is no worry about the tool losing its grip on the wood and dropping a heavy chunk of oak on the top of your foot. The steel quality of this, as well as all of my other Fiskars tools, is top notch. The balance for the swing is spot on as well, and the taper of the "fawns-foot" makes the tool easy to hang on to. I am seriously impressed with this tool. The Fiskars is my go-to tool for all of the oak rounds and splits on my homestead now. I initially thought that I would give the light weight Fiskars to my wife to use when she helps me with our storm clearing and firewood gathering work, as I am 18" taller and at least 140# heavier than she is, so she could work the light weight pine with the "little Fiskars", and I could handle the heavy oak wood. I will be buying another Fiskars so she can have her own tool, and we will not have to swipe the "little Fiskars" from each other all day long. It does not hurt that the Fiskars cost me about half as much as the heavier wood handled pickaroon either. The engineers at Fiskars really hit it out of the park with this tool. I have several other Fiskars tools that I have gathered over the years, like my truck axe, hatchet, loppers, pruner, etc... All of these tools have served me well. Being a bit of an "old-timer, traditionalist", I generally prefer a fine, oiled, Hickory handled Axe, hammer, etc... for the feel, and the ability to replace a broken handle if needed. I make an exception when it comes to these Fiskars tools. I have not yet broken any of my synthetic handled Fiskars tools. For leaving tools in the truck box for off-road use and not have to worry about them at all, and the reduced need for maintenance on the synthetic handles of these Fiskars tools, makes them very convenient to keep around. I take good care of my equipment, keeping my hardwood handled tools well oiled and the heads tight. I do not baby my tools. They get used hard and often. When I bought my first Fiskars axe, I thought I would give this "newfangled plastic tool" a try to see how it would hold up, and not have to worry about leaving it in the truck box for an extended period of time. I have not been disappointed. Do yourself a favor and get one of these pickaroons. Your back will soon thank you for it. After many decades of heavy, hard work my back is pretty messed up, and this tool has made a tough job at lot easier to perform. I am very happy with my purchase of this pickaroon, and would whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone that has a need for this type of tool in their wood yard.

Worked great at picking up, dressing up, and moving splits and pieces that had fallen off an old firewood stack. Saved my back, and more importantly my fingers (from snake bites (don't ask me how I know), that alone is worth the price). The ridges on the end helped remove loose bark and clean up pieces that had funky spots but were still mostly good hardwood. The pick also stabilized the piece, when placed on end to knock off bark, fungus, and soft areas with their hatchet, to save the piece and make kindling for the stove. (The hatchet was also a good purchase as it worked well in completing cleanup to keep the piece stove ready.)

This thing weighs nothing! Allows me to process and move wood that my health has been preventing me from doing. We already know the quality reputation of Fiskars tools. Love the tool and highly recommend

Very portable and works well for smaller diameter bolts and rounds. This is not a heavy duty tool. I keep it in my tractor cab. Find the scabbard helps when stored in tight quarters like tractor. Very handy when limbing out trees like hemlock. No need to bend over to pick up trimmed limbs. Simply slide hook under limb and pick it up.. Helps reduce bending over when feeding limbs to chipper. If you are handleing bigger wood, you may find it too light weight and the shock of repeated strikes is tough on the wrist. Little shock absorption than offered by a bulkier (heavy) pick.

very lightweight, strong and sharp, saves your back, good length, works great on large rounds, the material its made out of is very strong and has been extremely durable, I wish it had more orange on the handle, it sometimes gets temporarily lost when the splitter is being used, I added some fluorescent tape to help solve this issue, this item was good money spent

I stacked four full cords of cut & split firewood using this tool. It completely eliminated bending over to pick each piece off the ground, just a forceful stab & then lift. To release just tap the end of the wood furthest from the Hookaroon & it falls into place where you want it. I never had to grab the wood with my hand to pull it off. It worked wonderfully to either load a wheelbarrow or place directly on my stack. Eliminating repetitive bending is wonderful.

This thing is such good quality. I've used a cheap pickaroon with a wooden handle from one of the big box stores for years, but the handle broke recently. I planned to just put a new handle on the pickaroon that I had, but then I saw this Fiskars "hookaroon." I have several others Fiskars products, so I decided to give it a go. I'm glad I did. The length is just right for me (I'm 5'10"). The value is excellent for what you pay for it. I've used it for a couple of hours so far, and it's remained sharp. Really grabs the wood. I heat my home with wood, so I move a lot of logs and rounds. Pickaroons/Hookaroons really save your back and make moving logs so much easier. No matter how old you are (I'm still young but I wouldn't move logs without one), you'll be thankful that you have one of these. Fiskars is a trusted brand. You can't go wrong.

Great for keeping fingers away while splitting kindling with hatchet. Easily move small pieces of wood around. Well made. Sturdy.

Best tool my hundreds has bought with a bad back saves bending and picking logs from floor.
