Just reading over the comments lets me know I needed to be part of this group. Great tool talk. And for me the NEW YORK HOOK has what I need. But the tool has to be wrapped with cable wire with sports tape over it so my wet gloves can push and pull without sliping. Oh one more thing I would like to ask the group who ever thought of making a pike pole with a 2" in diameter handle. I can not get a grip when trying to push or pull with this tool?

I know there are some guys out there with strong opinions on nozzles! So what about it; 75psi or 50psi low pressure nozzles?

Rick,
Thank you! I can finally sleep thru the night without thinking I'm being hunted down by an Old West Bounty Hunter!

Hey Rick,
That picture scares me! Can you get one that has some cute puppies or something?

Anyone tried the San Francisco hook? Works better than a NY hook!

Ifv Stihl or any other saw manufacturer saw what we really did with their tool, there would be a safety disclaimer bulletin put out about us!

I feel the same way about the New York Roof Hook. There is so much more versitility with this hook. I have been using it for a number of years now.
There are still uses for the pike pole but they are falling by the wayside.
Right now I have just gotten my hands on a Talon Hook, which is a roof hook with a haligan fork at the end and I'm looking forward to using it.

i really like the New York Hook you can do so much more with it then what u can do with a pike pole. I think its faster when pullin ceilings and it works good for prying and other things it is definantly one of my favorite tools

You guys may get tired of me talking about saws, but I just talked to Bob at Fire Hooks Unlimited and he is thinking about making his 14" 30 tooth carbide blade with a 20mm arbor hole so you don't have to use an arbor adaptor on Stihl cut off saws. If anyone else uses Stihl saws please call him and ask for it!
