Finally Bought a Pickaroon

[MrWhoopee]

While splitting, I hate climbing up into the truck every 10 minutes to drag more rounds to the back. After using my homemade pickaroon for a year, I decided to buy one.

U.S. made by Council Tool, 1-1/2 lbs. x 36 in. long. Under $50 delivered.

Looking forward to trying it out.

If it gets stuck, release the handle in 5 seconds or less!

I don't have much of a problem getting rounds out of a truck, But, I use a '88 S10 which has a much smaller bed. I could put one to good use though, that and a cant hook maybe....

Funny. It's stuck already. I released the handle, now what?

Both great tools.

MrWhoopee, you will wonder why you didn't do that sooner.

there handy and help , I made my own from scrap steel and broken shovel handle cost me about $5.00

Mine looks like this. Handy little tool.

Man! My mind has stripped a gear ,or three! After reading this thread earlier, I was thinking that a pickaroon would be handy to have ,only to walk by my log rite hookaroon. 10 minutes later.

A machete with a long square tipped blade is my choice for this type of work.

For pulling out small stuff from the trailer my ,.home made log rite hookaroon wasn't doing the job , I tried a steel rake, tines to short , then, I picked up one of these Ames 4-Tine Cultivators $16, works great ,also use it for gathering up pieces while pole cutting, ,raking in tight places , like leafs between bushes.

No reason that would not work well, even for moving the small limbs out of the way.

Mine has a 4' handle, truck is 8' bed....with tailgate down I guess it's up to 9' to the bed wall. Now I only have to get into the bed once for unloading, sometimes wish I had a 5' handle! Soooo much easier unloading now! Haven't used it or any of my other tools this summer but pulled out the saw this weekend to remove a small tree on our lane and now the itch is back
