Hookeroon (sometimes called a Hookaroon or Pickaroon)

We have several pickaroons, hookaroons (or also called hookeroons) at the homestead.  By far, this one is Chuck’s favorite.  This is a 1-1/2 pounder with a 36 inch handle.  Chuck claims that this one is well balanced and the perfect length for his height.  He also feels that the shape of the head helps to “grab” the logs and it releases easier than the tools with the straight metal ends.  

Sometimes the simplest tools are the most effective.  This tool is used to drag firewood rounds to the splitter.  As a side, we see this as a safety item for in warmer months when snakes are active.  No more reaching hands into log piles where a copperhead or rattle snake might be lurking.  This tool is also a back saver reducing bending and possible injury.  

We cut firewood every week to service our customers so this tool is put to the test!  Highly recommended.

Stihl Hookaroon (sometimes called a Pickaroon)

We call this a pickaroon, but Stihl calls it a hookaroon.  Whatever you want to call it, it is an EXCELLENT tool and one of our favorites to use when doing firewood.  

Sometimes the simplest tools are the most effective.  We use this tool to drag firewood rounds to the splitter.  As a side, we see this as a safety item for in warmer months when snakes are active.  No more reaching hands into log piles where a copperhead or rattle snake might be lurking.  This tool is also a back saver reducing bending and possible injury.  

We were on the fence when we first purchased our hookaroon because it was a few dollars more than competitors.  However, like with all our Stihl products, it was worth the money.  

Our pickaroon is used regularly….almost daily!  We cut firewood every week to service our customers so this tool is put to the test!  Highly recommended. 

 

We are NOT affiliated with Stihl, however, we absolutely love their products and want others to know as well.
