The Firewood Tool That Ends the Bending: What a Hookaroon Is and Who Actually Needs One

The Tool Nobody Told You About

If you have a wood stove, a fireplace, or a fire pit, you bend down to pick up firewood hundreds of times a season and have probably never once thought of it as a problem with a solution. It is. The tool is called a hookeroon (also spelled hookaroon or pickaroon), and the people who own one all say a version of the same sentence: "I cannot imagine handling firewood without it anymore".

How It Works

A hookeroon is a light aluminum pole with a pick at the end. Swing it; the pick sinks into a round, split piece, or billet, and you lift and move it to your desired location from a full standing position. 

Common Use Cases 

• Moving and stacking firewood
• Loading and unloading trucks, trailers, or wheelbarrows
• Placing rounds directly onto the beam of a log splitter
• Retrieving Hard-to-Reach Pieces from a truck bed, messy pile, or tight trailer

Who It Is Actually For

Anyone who burns wood at home. You do not need to process logs or own a chainsaw. If firewood passes through your hands on its way to a fire, a Hookeroon could be a huge back saver.

Anyone who processes firewood. After the splitter, hundreds of pieces of firewood could end up in a pile. A day of picking them up by hand is a day your back remembers. The hookeroon turns that into standing work.

Ours

The Woodchuck Hookeroon is built in Pennsylvania: aluminum handle and a small rubber nub on the handle placed so your fingers always know which way the pick is pointing without looking.
