Pickaroons--Who Uses Them and What One?

[21incher]

Seems like I am the only  one that doesn't like  a round handle and went with the fiskars hookaroon that has an axe type handle that indexes when you grab it without looking. I have abused it pretty  good and am amazed it hasn't  broken  yet. A great tool to have when moving  a pile of firewood that you know has snakes in it.

Hey I said I can't tell which way my hook is pointed in the dark because of that round handle!😊

I use my Log rite every time I split wood. Real back saver!

The fact is that the on all the ones I like, used hard, the handles will not last. That is the cost of the luxury of a flat, small but long, light weight handle with a head that has no bearing. There are many styles of pickaroons made, from hatchet back to replaceable point.

I hear you. Sad day yesterday. Good thing I have some hickory drying.

Had a home made 1 broke it... so I bought 2 Fiskars they are holding up amazingly. 
When I had friends seeing me use it always wanted to try it. So I bought 2 so now I get alittle extra help when someone is around . For reason it fascinates people to stick a  point into a piece wood and drag it out.

I also like the feel of an oblong handle like my peavey brand pickaroon but would prefer the strength of the Logrite metal handle. If you had or remember the "monster" spliters with the extra heavy wedge and pipe handle, I had two and the older one I picked up at a yard sale had the pipe slightly flattened and was much nicer to use. I wonder if Logrite could figure a way to do that?
