Spendy tool. But the length of the tong seems to be a lot better than the usual tongs. However, I'd stick this individual components. For me the two most useful tools are a tongs (2 of them) and a peavey. A hookaroon would be third until my back gives out from bending over with the tongs. :) Timberjacks are specialty tool that I can usually work around.

@LogOXUSA 5 жыл бұрын

The problem we had with our old tongs was, as you noted, their short length requires you to bend fairly far over to engage a round and they max out at around 12" in diameter. The LogOX can grip and lift as large a log round as you typically can, and also be used to drag larger diameter log rounds over to your vertical splitter or hydraulic arm lift.

One thing to watch for over time... repetitive lifting in that manner can cause tennis elbow, causing pain where the top of the fore arm meets the elbow. It's easier to do as you get older and your tendons weaken. I've raked so much mulch in my life that I managed to do it to myself. It can take 6 months to 2 years to recover.

@julianeaston8607 5 жыл бұрын

I saw this on another you tube channel a few days ago, but I have doubts about how long the leg of the timberjack might last as it looks a little fragile. It looks as if you overload it the weld may well give out. Also the foot of it is quite a small diameter and (as noted from that other channel) if the ground you're working on is soft, it can easily sink in and you lose the advantage of raising the log really clear of the ground. But as yet I'm not sure if it's available here in UK. Any way Simeon thanks again for another well explained video and good luck with your trip to the USA.

@LogOXUSA 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Julian, The LogOX is made of hollow frame American steel and quite strong. A 12" diameter log is about the limit of what you'd want to lift with it. For larger logs, we recommend making cuts 3/4 of the way through the log, then rolling it over with the cant hook to complete them. We also back up our tools with a lifetime guarantee against manufacturer's defect. When working on soft ground you're correct, any timberjack is going to loose effectiveness as it gets bogged down. In that case, we'd recommend using the cant hook to roll it over instead, as you would with a larger log. We've shipped quite a few LogOX to the UK and Europe over the past few years from our website www.thelogox.com

I’m curious how you think the log hauler part of this tool compares to the Husqvarna Timber Lifting Tongs you showed in another video. I’ve owned the tongs myself for years, and appreciate the light weight, how they fit in the holster on my belt, and how they lift round logs without bending. I think the tongs are a better fit for how I work in the woods and for lifting rounds onto my splitter (this log hauler looks as though the handle is too long for convenient lifting to waist high or higher), but I’d love to hear your opinion

@pinchalog9794 5 жыл бұрын

Here is a review of tongs versus pickaroons: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZrCJq5aIppavZY0.html

@LogOXUSA 5 жыл бұрын

Hi John, the idea behind the LogOX Hauler originally grew out of our frustration with using our hands, pulp hooks, and log tongs to move bucked up log rounds and load our log splitter. All of which required a lot more bending than we wanted, while the mechanical limitations of the tongs and safety issues with the pulp hook/pickaroon were also apparent. Because the total arm length to height ratio in a healthy adult is 1:1, the 21" LogOX Hauler works perfectly to lift, move, and load logs onto a splitter without bending over, but it's short enough to easily clear the ground while walking, regardless of if you're 6'5 or 5'6. Unlike most log tongs, the Hauler can grip and lift as large a log round as you normally could, and can also be used to drag larger rounds over to a vertical splitter, while keeping your spine upright. It also provides some additional distance between your hands and any critters that may be lurking in the brush or your woodpile. The Hauler Holster you mentioned, is only designed to be used while operating a splitter to keep your hands free. Instead of putting all of your gear on a belt and hand carrying a few long handled tools around the woods, with our design, everything you need (including extra gear) to process a tree with your chainsaw, disassembles and fits into our CarryOX bag, which can be conveniently worn like a backpack. You can see how it all works together as a system in this video we made: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLSJptOf3NDeoGQ.html

@JohnMcNerney 5 жыл бұрын

@@pinchalog9794 Thanks. I've used both tongs and pickaroons. I was hoping for a comment from someone how has used both tongs and the Log Ox in a variety of situations. I do most of my splitting in the woods, after bunching logs to the side of the trial with the logging winch on my tractor. It's the moving from place to place factor that I'm wondering about. With tongs, I was always misplacing them as I moved around the woods. That problem stopped when I added a holster to my belt that fits them perfectly. I don;t lose them now, and they are always handy. I sometimes use the pickaroon when unloading wood from my trailer or pickup, but that tends to be just in a specific area, so misplacing it is not an issue. I don't carry a pickaroon with me when working in the woods: it's more of a working on the landing/processing area tool.

@JohnMcNerney 5 жыл бұрын

@@LogOXUSA Thanks for the reply. I can see the LogOx hauler working out when working on the landing in a processing area. I'm not sure the overall length would work all that well for loading onto my waist-high splitter. It seems a little long for that. I guess it's a matter of whether I'd rather bend a little bit to get the tongs on, but then not have to lift my arm so high, or not bend with the LogOx hauler but lift my arm/shoulder higher to get it on my splitter. I do think it would be more suited for work on the landing/in a wood processing area than out in the woods, simply because carrying it (and keeping track of where I left it) is not as convenient as putting my tongs in the holster on my belt. I think it's an interesting tool, just trying to figure out how well it would work in my particular work flow, which has me out in the woods and moving from place to place as I process small groupings of logs I have winched to trailside. I can see that it would be a great fit for those whose work-flow is to bring all their logs to a central area for processing.

John - thanks for sharing. You make a lot of good points; for the sake of brevity I will only address the "lost tool" issue. The reason why the Pinch A Log has the bright yellow and blue is so that it does NOT blend in with the forest and can be easily spotted and retrieved. And just in case, the yellow coating and surface treatments are all weather-resistant :) We're not in the business of trying to get people to order more tools because they lost them!

I bought one, and I love it, but overpriced. I bought 2 of the wood chuck tools for the same price as the log lifter. Each. The can’t hook and the log lifter.

How do you work with trees and not use gloves? I had a thorn pierce my glove easily entering my finger a few weeks ago while cutting down a few bushes and trees. They don't offer 100% protection but I won't even cut grass without em'..

jgonzz10028 If that's the kind of wood you have to deal with, get yourself some Kevlar gloves. Kevlar protects against knives, metal cuts, etc. Hand injuries are no joke. My son sliced a finger doing work on his ship in the Navy. He needed to be transported to their top hand surgeon for the operation. As a mom, I was a bit ticked those type gloves weren't standard issue.

I found some Stainless Steel chain mail gloves on Amazon and got a pair, they apparently got started for people who do knife work cutting up meat and fish. They work great to keep your hands uncut, use with leather gloves over them for grip. But I suppose they wouldn't keep out thorns.

bitsnpieces11 I first saw a glove I could use watching guys in the NASCAR pits. Light and dexterous. Been wearing them ever since - what we know to be Mechanix gloves. I buy about 4 pair per year. I always wear out the tips of the index and middle finger. I work in an office and don’t want my hands looking like hamburger.

I don't want to fiddle around to build the tool I need. My shop teacher in mechanic school kept repeating that a universal tool is never as good as a purpose built tool, he was right. That thing is way to heavy to cary around all day in your belt, unless you're a giant. But do continue your tool reviews, something good might pop up.
