Matt at firewood on the hill broke the tip off his fiskars hookaroo. They sent him a new one pretty quick . Fis cars according to cool tools Tony. Luv seeing that old elevator, family had one just like it when I was little
That's what I like about Fiskars, the lifetime warranty. If you break it, they'll send you a new one. No questions asked. The elevator sure comes in handy, going to try to find me one.
So what is the consensus? I have a cheap box store pickaroon and am going to upgrade. Probably get a stihl but what kind was that blue one, it looked like it worked well.
Phil the blue one is a Log Rite Brand. It is the exact same hookaroon as the Stihl in a different color. I have been using the fiskers for a few weeks and it is growing on me. For light duty applications it works well, if you are going to be moving very large rounds I would get the Log Rite or Stihl. Hold on tight buddy!
@ForestHogOutdoors I have four of them. I haven't had enough time with them to comment on a favorite brand. HOWEVER; I DO have a comment on the cast/forged ones. I have a 15" Garrett Wade one, and a 28" Forester. BOTH of them were duller than a mud fence when I got them. No biggie; are we not outdoorsmen? All that was required was a little TLC; and they stick like crazy! Grinding and filing and sanding. That in itself was rewarding. I have since seen a Forester that was plenty good enough to use from brand new. Was it as good as mine? Of course not. But that would be splitting hairs.
@@ForestHogOutdoors Greetings, my Pickaroons are the length of an axe, as such this allows me to move rounds that are on the ground when bucking or hand splitting. On the other hand the Hookaroon is very handy unloading rounds and split rounds from the back of a truck. There is also the pulp hook which has a 'D' -shaped handle which is great for pulling split rounds from a wood pile, it can also be used well for dragging trunks of trees around to manipulate them onto a saw horse, or pulling 8' lengths out of the back of a truck bed, similar to the use of Log-Tongs. My Pickaroons are Husqvarna and Soo-Line (older brand up here in Canada). I know Buckin' Billy Ray did a video on his channel about these tools, like me he is up here in BC, he is on Vancouver Island. Stay safe, WS
7:16 👉 poor distance judgement, your hand was way too far away. Should have reviewed that and not included it in the video. User error is not a review of the product.
some of those rounds you were carrying looked fairly heavy , not sure if the Fiskars was designed for that size as they are a Scandinavian company where firewood is more uniform in size something like 6 -10" diam . Anyway good video

@@ForestHogOutdoors don't be scared to pay a little more for condition. Ask Jake, he must have a lot more into it including labor, than he paid
@@brandonhoad9033 dually noted, I see him working on that thing every other video. Not where I want to be once I get one.
Hello From Northern Virginia, Just subscribed. Safe Splitting to ya! Take Care🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks Larry and Robin. Gonna check out your channel!
@@ForestHogOutdoors Thanks 👍🏼🇺🇸
My pleasure.
nice Fiskar, I got one as a gift this year also!!
Do you like it? Any issues?
@Forest Hog Outdoors honestly forgot I had it but I'll use it soon and report back!
She's a real back saver dog.
What a thoughtful gift! Phase 3?
Cheaped out, give me the ring back!

Now all you need is the ice tongs to lift them up to the splitter, saves the back.
Next purchase for sure Joe. I'm not getting any younger.
Keep the tip of your hookaroons and pickaroons real sharp, it makes life easier!
Thanks, do you have a favorite brand?

wouldn't have been the first camera ruined in the history of filming some YT videos!
And won't be the last!
Fiskars hookaroo is good for rounds, but is terrible for using it on firewood pieces, better off by hand or a regular hook.
I don't often use it for pieces of firewood mostly just rounds.
Pickaroon has a long handle...Hookeroon has a short handle.
Thanks man. Where do you draw the line?

Thanks for the info, I'll check out Billy's video as well. Thank you for watching my video. You stay safe up there my man.
I've heard it was just the shape of the beak.
interesting, maybe. Does it effect the functioning because I have pickaroons with different shaped beaks@@John-cj3ve

Better check the girl who got that for you
She's been put on notice.
Guy shouldn't have been standing there!
That's what I said!
There is NOTHING chincy about it; just because it's a different design!
She's done everything I've asked thus far. 0 complaints
