Logrite Peavey/Cant Hook

Magicman · August 13, 2011, 07:23:30 PM

Kevin and Tammy from Logrite donated a 60" Logrite peavey as a Pig Roast door prize. Since I was interested in one, before the drawing, I questioned Kevin regarding a cant hook.

Jeff and Tammy drew numbers for door prizes at the Pig Roast. When Jeff got down to the last ticket in the box, he declared that person would get the Logrite. He then called out #859. My number.

Kevin immediately sent his wife Tammy over to me offering to exchange the peavey for a cant hook. I was a bit hesitant, but Tammy and Kevin were insistent.

I am the proud owner of a Logrite peavey.

.
I am even more proud of the Logrite cant hook that was waiting for me when we got home.

My thanks to Logrite for being a Forestry Forum Sponsor.

Hey Magicman, You could send either one of those my way. ;) I could use one about now with some of those monsters I am gonna have to handle.

I've got one of the 48 inch ones and it's one of the best tools I have owned. One like yours is on the wish list.

I love my 30" Mill Special cant hook. I was so happy with it that I bought a 60" Logrite peavey. To be honest, I prefer my old wood-handled peavey to the Logrite.

However ... I modified the Logrite peavey so it is more of a cant hook and I'm really pleased with it (I just drove out the roll pin that holds the point in and replaced it with a longer one that bights into the log).

Bottom line -- for rolling logs at the mill and in the log yard, I prefer the Logrite cant hook. For shifting logs in the bush I like my old fashioned peavey.

I just bought a 48 inch logrite cant hook and I am amazed at how good of a tool it is and how well it works.

Logrite equipment is top of the line in my opinion. It feels like a "real" tool.

thecfarm · August 15, 2011, 07:28:43 AM

You know MM almost looks like a photo chop picture. ;D The best of both worlds.

Chris Burchfield · August 15, 2011, 09:33:47 AM

I can't speak for a peavy but, the difference between a Logrite Cant Hook and a Razorback Snapping Turtle is the Logrite Cant Hook won't let go when it thunders! :D :D :D

Magicman · August 15, 2011, 01:01:57 PM

It will be next week before I find out.

I'm doing stuff this week. You know, the kind of stuff that you have to do for her when you run out of excuses for not doing stuff. ;D

I'm ready to order a few tools for use around our mill, I just wanted to say Thank You to Kevin and Tammy and I hope they know how much there sponsorship here on the forum is doing for their business. I have heard nothing but good things said here about Logrite tools and that is where I'll do my shopping, congrats on the door prize MM!

Magicman · August 24, 2011, 10:06:56 PM

I'll finish this job tomorrow and maybe I will be able to use the Logrite. Gabby will not let me get my hands on it.

Gabby monopolizing the Logrite. ;D

Chris Burchfield · August 25, 2011, 07:02:38 AM

I tell folks the difference between my LogRite Cant and a Logger Head Snapping Turtle, My LogRight Cant don't let go when it thunders. :D :D :D

I have 5 other cant hooks and peaveys and was comparing the arch on the hooks yesterday. They have the shape figured out.

Paddlefish · August 25, 2011, 06:46:59 PM

Yes they are!

Magicman · August 25, 2011, 07:38:30 PM

Not only are Logrite tools made in the USA. It's also my understanding the the Logrite owners Kevin and Tammy are also.

Made in the USA.

When I bought my sawmill (used), it came with 5 various cant hooks and peaveys. I have gotten by with them for 10 years. I have been questioned several times on here about "no Logrite??"

After winning and using the Pig Roast cant hook, I knew that more were in my future. They are just that much better than whatever is in second place.

When I got back from Colorado, a UPS package was waiting for me.

I am now a 3 Logrite Sawyer.

Peter Drouin · November 07, 2011, 08:01:45 PM

Way to go MM. I ben thinking about getting one my self. 8) 8) 8)

metalspinner · November 07, 2011, 09:59:01 PM

Nice team of hooks you have there, magicman.

I have the 48" and 60" peavy in those same colors. You need to get those things to work and get the first scratches and scuffs on them. They just don't look right all smooth and polished. :D

Is that reflective tape under the handle?

Magicman · November 07, 2011, 10:43:23 PM

Yes, 3M orange reflective tape. If I am late on a job, a flashlight will find them instantly. I have a wrap of it on most of my tools.

Dan_Shade · November 08, 2011, 05:55:50 AM

I might have to copy that idea....

Magicman · November 08, 2011, 07:54:34 AM

I had a splash of red paint on the old ones because there really was no place for the tape.

These two new Logrites prove that our Sponsors do get value for their Pig Roast donations.
