Knowing you clowns, most of you are drooling thinking this is gonna be some kinda #### thread. Sorry to disappoint but it is the next best thing...a firewood story. We've had a bit of a chilly spell here in PA the last coupla days. My processing area is finally frozen solid and the weind wasn't near as bad as yesterday. I have probably 4 cords of rounds waiting to be turned into sticks so I got the gator out, hooked up the tw-6, and grabbed the rest of the gear including a set of Lockhart's firewood gripper's from Bailey's. Got them as a stocking stuffer from Santa. Needless to say I wish I woulda got them last year! Had no trouble hooking and holding onto 24 inch rounds of cherry and silver maple, and some noodled pieces of pin oak. The hooks made grabbing and pulling pieces from the table that needed to be run again a breeze. There was a bit of a learning curve and my pants got a few new ventilation ports but such is life. Once I figured out that holding the tool with my pointer, middle and ring fingers while pushing down with thumb and pinky to curl the tool made grabbing a cinch. Grabbing a round near the top rather than having to stoop all the way down and get both hands under it makes me think I don't actually have to get a log lift just yet. When I first noticed the hooks in the bailey's catalog I thought "what a gimicky piece of junk". In reality, these things will make someone a million dollars!
