New LogRite cant hook

[Marine5068]

I finally pulled the trigger and bought a good log tool.
LogRite Cant Hook.
I got the 60" version for ease of moving real heavy logs.(either long or large diameters)
Kind of excited to see it arrive by Purulator next week.
Squee !!!

I've got the stihl branded one. Very well made.

I "rolled my own"

I am partial to the old cast ones made by Dixie Industries myself.

I have an ancient looking wood handled one that works great and a modern one that's only good for really large logs and then the handles kinda short. So pretty useless in reality.

I don't get it...why can't it hook. Seems like it should be pretty good at hooking.

I've got two wood handle ones, one shorter, and one longer, got them at estate sales. Paid $35 for the shorty, and $10-$15 for the long one. I figure if I got to enough farm auctions I'll find what ever I want cheap. Now, I may have wasted 10 Saturdays standing in rain, snow, and mud to get the $10 hook. but that's what happens when your cheap.

This 60" Logrite cant hook is a fantastic tool for moving these big Red Oak logs. I love it.
The one its hooked on there is a 12 footer and must weigh in at a few hundred pounds or more.

It's from Woodmizer and has their colour scheme.

A few hundred? I bet that log weighs literally, 1/2 ton.

 

[Marine5068]

or more

Yup! I've got a few auction buddies who make the time pass. Last week I avoided the close one from the listed items and then went a lot further to look at what may be at an auction in a park. Last year cutting torch set from guages 60' down the lines to operating end for less than$10 from the same park auction by the same auction company. This year naught wasted trip except saying hi - bye to the buddies sitting in their lawn chairs.
The auctions are a cr@p shoot, when they pay off makes all the other times worth the effort. Where I got long wood handle log turner and long steel pry bars for cheapIn my early teens used a nail puller disassembling structures. Like top example, had never seen a staple puller like the lower tool. Had to add it to the collection a couple weeks ago when the main draw was a bandsaw mill that went for $3050.
My guestimate on weight is 55# a cubic foot of log. Sites online figure volume for me with the length and diameter dropped in. The other site that list weight of tree species wet list most hard woods @ 50-60# sooooo I ended up. ^^^^
