Overview
Built for moving logs and raw lumber, these tongs are intended to give you a secure hold when skidding timber from one point to another. The high-carbon steel construction and no-slip teeth are designed for a firm grip, while the swiveling hook helps reduce chain twisting during use. A powder-coated finish adds a layer of protection, and the product is offered in a range of sizes to suit different lumber dimensions. These tongs are meant for log movement only, not overhead lifting.
