7' hookeroon

[turnkey4099]

Unload firewood without ever climing into the truck:

]

8' closet pole cut to 7' with an 1 1/4" Dressler coupling (compression fitting) cross drilled for 1/2" all thread. (coupling might be 1 1/2" not sure).

I made that last June. Haven't crawled into the bed all summer since and done around 12 cords wood. Nice to unload a full load without ever crawling in there or even bending over to pick up/move a chunk.

I bought a 30" "logrite" hookeroon last year. Always wanted one but objected to the price (around $60) considering how simple they are. First time I used it I began kicking my rear for not having done so 30 years ago.

Very nice, Harry.
I could use a back saver like that one, too.
Have to go see what I have out in the shop to make my own.
I think there's an old pole saw handle somewhere in the rafters ...

Looks pretty slick

A good idea, but not for me.

If'n I made one up, that would mean manual labor would be close by

I try to steer away from that lately

Hmmm...pole saw? After figuring for months what to use for a handle I never thought of that and I have two of them! The hookeroon does need a bit of weight out there, the plumbing fixture is just about right.

I use a garden hoe for similar purposes.

Graden rake here. It also doubles as a trailer hitch locater when hooking up to a trailer.

It's a good thing you have a sleeper on that truck of yours.

I tried the hoe, the 4 tine weeding tool, etc. None were long enough to reach the end of the bed and none would "spike" the wood.

My 30" and 7' hookeroons are just about the last tools I would do without.
