There's a lot of em out there that will do the job, this is the one I have , nice tool, works great , I like that when you have it in your hand you always know which way the point is pointing Peavey Mfg 36" Hookeroon (Hume Pickeroon) | Hookeroons & Sappies | Log Handling Tools | www.www.baileysonline.com.com
I should have known that but I didn't, I guess that's why it's a Quality Tool Can't beat them for unloading the trailer. Four tools I use the most handling wood. Hookaroon Log Tongs Pulp Hook Cant hook
No... it's just right for my height. If you stand, with back straight, and a 30" hookeroon will stick in the end of a split at about 3-4" off the ground when you swing at it... should be pretty good. If you're a tall loggah, try the 36". No bendin' is the rule...
Ole Joe Peavey... History of The Peavey It was in the Spring of 1857 that Joseph Peavey made the first tool to become known as the PEAVEY. With the first tool began the organization of the Peavey Manufacturing Company, which for 160 consecutive years now has been making Peaveys and shipping them with other logging tools throughout the U.S. and many foreign countries. The event took place in Stillwater, Maine in the heart of the booming logging industry. One day a log drive became hung up on the Stillwater Branch of the famous Penobscot River. Joseph Peavey, who invented the Peavey Hoist for pulling stumps and hoisting gates on dams, the first hay press, the first wooden screw vice, the first clapboard water wheel, unspillable inkwell, and many other things, lay flat on a bridge overhead watching the men with their improvised prys trying to free the jam. Seeing the unsteadiness of the prys and realizing they needed something different, the idea came to him that he could make a better tool. So he jumped up, as the story goes, went back to his blacksmith shop and directed his son Daniel to make a clasp with lips, then make holes in the lips to put a bolt through on which to hang a dog (or hook) and toe rings below the clasp to the bottom of the handle. Finally, a pick was driven into the end of the handle. The tool was turned over to River Driver William Hale who pronounced it a great success. Later, Joseph Peavey made the first PEAVEY using a solid socket, in place of toe rings, with a driven pick. The improved Patent PEAVEY - solid Socket and Pick combined, later to be called the Bangor or Rafting Peavey, was invented by James Henry Peavey, grandson of Joseph. The present facility of the Peavey Manufacturing Co. is located just five miles down the river from where this historical event took place.
Check out YouTube under Ben's invention pickaroon. His version looks pretty good. 29" handle, ergonomic grip, and lightweight. I was looking myself very recently of all the one's I researched I liked Ben's the best. I'm waiting for them to arrive, I'll post pictures when they do. Price is 50 dollars shipping is 25 for 1 or 2. I went ahead and purchased 2 for 125 shipped. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk
I think a 36" will be the route I go. I haul wood in a utility trailer and the extra reach may come in handy
Got a 36" logrite from my Secret Santa. I'm 6'1" and feel it's a perfect size. Great for pulling rounds off the truck, moving rounds and large splits off/around the ground...just don't pierce the truckbed/liner!
Unfortunately, I don't think those are available in NA, at least not in Canada. Fiskars only has those, well everywhere else, but here.
Well you could import one to North America. I got mine from a online company called Rock Around the Block in Sydney.Fiskars XA22 126007 WoodXpert Sappie Log Pick (725mm) | Rock Around The Block You could email them and see if they would be interested in shipping to NA. They are really good to deal with, excellent customer service. The postage will suck tho. Edit I just looked at the US Fiskars website and they now stock the XA22 28" hookaroon for $54.99. Your in luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
