Fiskars 28" Hookaroon - Non-Slip Grip Handle with Pointed, Angled Blade - Landscaping Tool for Rotating, Dragging, Stacking Logs - Black/Orange

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

A really handy piece of kit. Very surprisingly what you can move around and lift with this! Especially from a wood pile, stuff covered in briars or rolling a trunk.

Great tool, very light compared to others but it certainly does stick in the wood with minimal effort.

Very good for a while but then the tip broke off

I have had for 12 months and it's great. However tip has broken when striking a lob.. its now useless as will no longer stick into logs

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.

Was haben ich und mein Rücken die ganzen Jahre verpasst.. Hätte auch gerne 7 Sterne vergeben. Tolles Teil

Great for older people in rural areas. It saves your back, and your eyes if your dragging fallen branches out of shrubs that have grown around them. Great in Australia with deadly spiders as you don't have the grab with your hands. So impressed I bought my old dad one for his property. Probably not worth while if you only chop some would for a BBQ say now and then. Great on 5+ acres.
