FAQs
Which forestry tools are essential for woodland management?
The best forestry hand tools will depend on the work you're carrying out, but most forestry professionals rely on equipment such as felling wedges, breaking bars, lifting tongs, hookaroons, splitting wedges and sharpening stones. Choosing the right forestry equipment can improve productivity, reduce physical strain and contribute to safer timber harvesting and firewood preparation.
Should I choose a hookaroon or a pulp hook?
These forestry tools are designed for different tasks. A hookaroon is ideal for grabbing, lifting and moving logs without repeatedly bending down, making it invaluable when processing firewood. A pulp hook, by contrast, is intended for handling sheet materials such as plywood, allowing them to be lifted and stacked more easily.
Why should I use felling wedges when removing a tree?
Tree felling wedges are used to help guide a tree in the intended direction of fall while also preventing the trunk from closing on the chainsaw guide bar during the back cut. Whether you're carrying out tree felling professionally or managing woodland on private land, quality felling wedges are an important part of safe forestry practice.
What's the easiest way to check whether firewood is ready to burn?
A wood moisture meter/ wood moisture gauge is the quickest and most reliable way to test seasoned logs before they're burned. For the cleanest, most efficient performance, firewood should generally have a moisture content of less than 20%. Burning properly seasoned wood helps reduce smoke, improves heat output and minimises deposits inside the flue.

Yes. STIHL forestry tools and Husqvarna forestry tools are expertly engineered for demanding forestry, arboricultural and estate management work.
