Historical information
A bale hook (or hay hook) is a hand tool used to lift, drag, and stack heavy, awkward, or small square bales of hay, straw, or wool, often used to prevent hand strain and reduce back fatigue. By hooking into the bale strings or material, it provides leverage to move bales onto wagons or stack them in barns
