Picaroon - any good?

[Two Acres]

Anyone used a picaroon/ hookaroon / log pick?

 

I see F R Jones have some Helko log picks in their clearance sale. My back is giving me a bit of grief these days and I'm wondering if it would help me with my firewood production? I'm only going to be doing about 7 cube a year out of my wood for my own use.

Yeah a skidderoon! I have one and it is good as a log pick but have only used the noose a couple times.

Yep got the middle sized one and it's brilliant. It's used all the time when processing roundwood.

They are very useful tools, but don't get cocky with them (as I did), they hurt quite a bit when you embed them in a body part!

Got the shortest one, handy thing to have around. I sometimes found tongs loose their grip.

Oh no Mr Idiot,

 

When you say 'cocky' do you mean that you managed to use a very useful tool to render your very useful tool useless? I don't expect tat went down very well with Mrs idiot

I realised after I'd posted that reply that it could be mis-interpreted!

I've got the small one (pickaroon that is) and was using it to flick split logs from the floor into my hand. Works fine until you fail to pick up a log and your momentum takes the point straight into your waiting palm!
