I like the design of that one.

Super light weight and very wieldable. It's a little different from the rest, but it has worked very well for me.

That's cool a lot of you use the term wood yard. I didn't even think I was using the correct terminology because I never heard anyone else use it, but I liked the way it sounds and thought I was the only one who called it that. The word Woodpile doesn't really capture the extent of our wood cutting and storing areas.

As for hookaroons, this simple tool was indeed a game changer for me. I tried the peavy (forget which point design I got but they offer several styles) hookaroon. It sticks okay in smaller rounds but I can't trust it to stay stuck, comes loose too easily so I never use it.

The Logrites on the other hand often require a good 5 seconds of twisting and rocking to get it unstuck, and that's exactly View attachment 399107 View attachment 399108 what I want when I'm dragging 200+lbs of dead weight across the woodyard. Never had one come loose on me unintentionally. Their tip design has a little barb on it that works amazing. Can't speak to any other brands as these are the only ones I've tried.

logrite also makes and orange one and sells it under the stihl brand.

I’ve used the pickaroon style and my tip folded over in the first 5 minutes. I guess I was clueless how it’s supposed to be used

I put it on my Santa list....My wife is onboard with anything wood related, she absolutely loves the warmth and feel of a wood stove. How could you not, nothing really like it!

I second the logrite, mine has served me well, sometimes it's difficult to aim, don't stand next to a log you want to pick up

I have one of the Husquvanra ones like in post #10. Definitely a useful tool. Reprofiled the beak a bit and rehung the handle after it failed the first season.

Mine is a convert as well. I am so happy that she’s happy with our wood burner - and my obsession with all things

I've been using a long wrecking bar to slide rounds and splits out of the truck. With a plastic bedliner, they slide out easily. Trouble is, hanging around here makes me think I need to up my game. More neat stuff to put on the Christmas list. My other option would be to fire up the torch and modify one of the wrecking bars.
