Still looking for the perfect log pick

[Woodworks]

First one I had was a Helko. Great pick but when in the hands of others it's had it's wooden handle broken twice. Then tried the Logrite with it's steel handle but not a patch on the Helko in use as the tip pulls out and the round handle is not as good to use. Left that one on a job in Sussex and as I had not got on with it so treated myself to a new one. Just got the Fiskers which is not bad. Nice handle that should be tough but the head is a bit light and still does not hold as well as the Helko.

 

So what else is there? Composite handle on the Helko head would be perfect but dont think that exists.

I've got a german one, says "Bison" on the side, came from ebay or amazon - it seems fine?!

Like this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bison-20-03-121202-Pickaroon-Handling-Tool/dp/B005F71TEO

 

Head looks the same as the Helko but same problem of the wooden handle. Thing is I do contract firewood processing and the guys on site that load the processor on site have a tendency to heavy handedness

Yes that's the one.

 

Tell them to buy their own pickaroon! Maybe they will look after it then

Don't know if it's any good -

Sadly that would be a waste of breath. Also it's in my interest to have them working well.

Thanks but it's only showing me trainers. What search did you put in and I will try to find it?

You need to go on the page and click something like "why am I seeing this" then disable viglink
