LogRite Log Tongs, 12 in Milo Hand Tongs

LogRite log tongs in the 12 in Milo size let you grab, lift and drag rounds and firewood without bending to grab them by hand. They save your back and your fingers when you are cleaning up a takedown.

Where log tongs help

Cleaning up after a removal means moving a lot of wood. Picking up rounds by hand means bending over hundreds of times and putting fingers near pinch points. A pair of tongs grabs the round, lets you lift with your legs and a straight back, and drag pieces to the chipper, the truck or the stack.

The 12 in Milo is sized for rounds and firewood that one person can handle. Larger logs call for a cant hook, a log arch or a team. Browse more log handling tools for heavier work.

Tongs also help with splitting and stacking firewood, loading the truck, and moving rounds out of a client's yard. Anything that keeps your hands off wet, heavy wood cuts down on strains and pinched fingers by the end of the day.

Use and care

Set the points into the wood, lift with your legs and keep the load close. Do not try to lift more than you can safely handle, and watch your footing on wet or uneven ground.

Keep the points sharp and clean, and check the pivot for looseness. Replace worn or bent parts before they let a round slip.

Hang them in the truck where they will not get buried under rope and saws.
