My 2 cents worth, if you can find an old cant hook at an auction or a garage sale buy it. Don't go out and spend $110 on an orange, steel handled, foam rubber padding on the end with a stamped hook. The high dollar orange and white cant, just won't grab like the old school wood handle with a blue hook. I lost my old cant hook after 20 some years so I went out and bought that shiny orange one and was totally dissapointed. A month later I was at an auction and there was ole blue, 48" hickory handle, and sold for $14 dollars. I might have an almost new, hardly used, Stihl cant hook for sale. I should have known when it had foam rubber on the end.

After cutting some 25" Elm this week I realized I needed a cant hook . I was wondering if it would be worth stopping by a couple flee markets tomorrow to see if I could find one more reasonably priced than a new one.

Or barn or yard sale if you're in the right neighborhood.

I know most of you know the difference, but it does get confusing. Peavey is the name of a company that makes timber equipment. Like Kleenex and Xerox, over time the brand name has improperly become the tool name.
FWIW, my Cant Hook is a Peavey brand.

While Peavey is a tool brand, Peavey in this case does not refer to the company but to the inventor, Joseph Peavey. Peavey was a blacksmith in Stillwater Maine who invented the tool named after him. The Peavey has a dog hook and a spike on the bottom. It can be used for rolling logs or as a lever for moving things.
The cant hook is different. It does not have the spike on the end, but has a metal cap with a small hook or point that is opposite the duckbill on the dog hook. Cant hooks were used at sawmills for moving cants. A cant is the flat sided piece of timber you get when you run a log through the mill.

If it has a hard wood handle and good metal it should do good. I like the 2 size hook on it.

I often just take the hook and ring

with me and use the ax to trim a limb or sapling for a handle as needed. :msp_cool:
