Q: What is it used for?
A pickaroon is used to lift, drag and reposition firewood blocks, limbs and similar pieces of wood without bending down to grab them by hand, a technique carried over from the pulpwood industry.
65U0620 - Pickaroon
A pickaroon is all about being easy on your back. Traditionally used in the pulpwood business for unloading (a pulpwood hook was used for loading), it can be used to maneuver firewood blocks for splitting (with minimal bending, of course), for dragging large limbs, etc.
The sharp tip on the forged steel head beds well in wood with only a light swing. 18" handle; weighs under 2 lb.
Made in Austria.

No, the forged steel tip is sharp enough to bed into wood with just a light swing, so repeated hard strikes aren't necessary.
It weighs under 2 lb with its 18" handle, light enough to use through an extended session of moving firewood or brush.
A pickaroon is the better choice for single pieces you can lift and drag one at a time with a hooking motion, while a timber carrier suits longer logs that two people need to carry together; pick the pickaroon for everyday firewood-sized handling.
