This is an antique hay hook. We got it at a antique place for a whopping $9. It’s one of the funniest tools on the homestead. You can stab it into a bale of hay or straw and it’s really amazing how well it works. It makes the bale so much easier to deal with. I suppose that they were used to pull bales up off the field or a haying machine, and to just handle the big 40-50 pound awkward things.

They also make fun Dr. Hook claws and are are good for pulling heavy loads on sleds. The handle is much nicer than baling twine or rope.

And if zombies attack, they could be a formable weapons. If.

Doesn’t hurt to be prepared you know. Haha….
