Broke my Fiskars Hookaroon a couple weeks ago. So I bought a couple that should be better and picked up a new wedge axe and a pickup axe.

Council Tools 3.5 lb Dayton, 36" handle with horrible grain orientation. 4lb Coundil Tools felling axe on 28" handle. Council Tools Hookaroon and I wanted to try a Logrote Hookaroon as well.

Is the pipe steel?

 

[KS Plainsman]

It's aluminum. It's way lighter that the fiberglass one.

I think logrite might make Stihls pickaroon also. They certainly look very similar.

Mine broke around the welded head & I had a buddy reweld it.

So the hex part that holds the pick part broke from the pipe? Also, does yours have the little roll pin going through the handle a couple inches below the hex part? I wonder what it's purpose is.

I think I read somewhere they did make theirs.

 

[JimBear]

Yes, it broke the weld by that hex. I marked it with yellow. I think that roll pin is what holds the pick in place. There is actually a 2nd shaft inside that handle, at least the top part.

This was the one I was curious about, but it must have to do with the 2nd shaft you mentioned. I wondered why there'd be a weld and a roll pin, but a second shaft makes sense.

Hopefully mine holds together. I guess time will tell. I have a backup at least now.

Someone must of grabbed that handle outta F-bin.

 

[Philbert]

I ‘think’ that Logrite guarantees their pickaroon. Would be worth looking into if yours fails.

It's literally horizontal. Basically straight across.

It's ugly.

It might not function very long with the grain going sideways.

Who knows might last a while also.

I think Stihl would of warrantied mine but it would of cost me more in gas to drive to the dealer. My buddy charged me $5.

Time will tell I guess. I'll run it till it goes. It's only to keep in the pickup. So it's not the end of the world, but frickin Ray Charles could've seen that it was a *s-wordty handle.
