Which Woodchuck Tool Is Right for You? A Complete Buyer's Guide

Most people working with wood run into the same two problems:

1. Inefficiencies when positioning, rolling, and lifting logs

2. Troubles moving the pieces once the cutting is done

We provide the tools that solve those problems.

Working with the right gear will allow you to work faster and smarter with less strain. 

 

This guide covers the collection of tools we offer, what each one actually does, and how to figure out which tool/s fit your needs best.

                                                                                                        

The Timberjack: Our Simplest Tool

Log Jack

The Timberjack lifts and rolls logs from 5 to 20 inches in diameter. For the majority of jobs requiring lifting and rolling, the Timberjack has you covered.

The TimberPro: New and Improved Timberjack

Log Jack / Cant Hook 

The TimberPro lifts logs from 5 to 20 inches and adds cant teeth for more controlled rolling. The cant teeth help secure the log for cutting. It helps most when working with smaller logs. If you do a high volume of lifting and rolling, the TimberPro is the step up.

The DualPro: Maximum Capability

Log Jack / Cant Hook / Peavey

The DualPro lifts 5 to 20 inches and rolls logs up to 30 inches. That is the largest rolling capacity in the lineup. The front foot detaches via a clevis pin (no tools needed) for a clean roll on any log size. Additionally, inside the front foot is a retractable peavy point. What makes the DualPro so great is that depending on its configuration, the tool can adapt to various scenarios and use cases. The DualPro is the "everything tool" from Woodchuck Tool.

The Hookeroon: For Moving Individual Pieces

Hookaroon / Pickaroon

The Hookeroon has a 32-inch aluminum handle with an ultra-hard stainless steel pick at the end. Swing or plant the pick into a round, split piece, or billet and easily move pieces around, all from standing height. A unique feature of this tool is the rubber nub on the handle. This nub allows you to identify what direction the pick is facing by feel without looking down. This is the tool for any job where you're moving many pieces around one at a time.

The Skidderoon: For Volume and Land Clearing

Hookaroon / Pickaroon / Skidder

The Skidderoon is effectively a Hookeroon but with a skidding functionality built in. Wrap the cable around a bundle of brush, limbs, or smaller logs, tighten it down via the handle, and drag the whole bundle in one trip. In addition to working with rounds, split pieces, or billets, If you're clearing land or moving large amounts of brush and limbs, this is the tool for you.

Why It's Worth Owning a Pickaroon and Log Jack Tool

The Timberjack, TimberPro, and DualPro are made to handle large logs and timber. The pick and drag tools are made to handle rounds, split pieces, processed firewood, limbs, and brush.

Owning only one of these tools means you are likely not geared up with the right tools for all the work you may face. 

The Woodchuck Tool Recommendation

For starters, when you bundle, you save a fortune. For example, if you were to purchase the Timberjack individually and then in a separate order, you decided to buy the Hookeroon individually, you just spent $50 on shipping. By bundling a Log Jack tool with a Pickaroon tool, for example purchasing the DualPro and the Skidderoon in the same cart, your order ships completely free.

If you're the type of person who is looking to purchase one of these tools, your best bet is to bundle. With that said, our most capable tool combo is the DualPro and the Skidderoon. Bundle them up, claim your free shipping, and enjoy your new tools that will last a lifetime.
