NOT a Stumpripper
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
Just back from a short jaunt thru Florida enroute to IHS and due to not wanting to try and deal with getting my Stumpripper on a plane I purchased a new Pro Field Hook from my running buddy Bill Love to use on this trip and also because I was interested in how it measured up to the old reliable.
I have to say I was not impressed...first time I tried to move a fairly stout board I put a lovely bow in the shaft...this was fairly easily made more or less true again but every time I put any strain on the shaft it bent again. Im not talking about using it as a pry bar but just doing what I do every day with my 30 year old Fuhrman hook (which has never given an inch under this). In addition, the cross hatched foot was very difficult to get under animals when trying to manipulate them and no more useful for pulling tin or whatnot. And finally the finish is just paint which is already chipping off after a weeks worth of use.
People who like this hook must not have ever had the experience of a REAL Stumpripper. It is light but hardly any more so than the Furmont which is about 5 times the hook this is for only twice the price.
