I won one of these Canthooks at the 2024 Pig Roast and can attest that while I haven't used it, and actually gave it to someone who would, it is a very nice tool. Very high quality and it feels great in the hand.

I have two of their peaveys and I have gifted 2 others in the past at annual meetings of our woodlot owner association. I used one of mine on a huge spruce that laid in grass for a long time and soaked up water like sponge. It was very heavy and 24" in the middle, probably 12' long. Normally spruce is not so full of water. Well, thankfully, there was a little down hill in the direction it was to roll. I had to move it away from a road I needed to use for access. The owner had forgotten it was there to keep people from tramping his planted fields. And finally, last year it has become law that you need to ask the owner for permission to cross land for hunting purposes. That is 99.9999% of all tramping across land here, outside of farming. Anyway, Logrite makes great products.  Good luck all.

thanks for the compliments!


This seems like a no brainer.  It is just pennies per day to subscribe to get rid of those annoying ads and get into the drawing for an awesome cant hook/peavey.

Thank You Tammy for stepping up and Sponsoring this Christmas Canthook Giveaway. 

[Ljohnsaw]

Yes, thank you for sponsoring this giveaway. I have a yellow 60" super heavy duty one I bought many years ago. With my manual mill and BIG logs, we've had two people jumping on it to move things without any issue. Well built products!

[aigheadish]

I'd imagine they'd be real mean home defense weapons, if needed, as well. I'm not really into zombie stuff but... 

[WV Sawmiller]

   I own 2 of the 60" cant hooks from LogRite and consider them a piece of my safety equipment. How many times have you seen a poorly built/designed cant hook slip and the resulting bruises (Black eyes?) from someone hitting themselves in the head or falling over a log or having one roll back on them. LogRite bite and hold on like a mad snapping turtle. I love mine.

Just giving this a little bump. Jeff I wanted to point out that the banner looks great in the full desktop view, but I am not seeing it in the phone version and I think a lot of our readers just use their phone. SO I thought I would point that out. Perhaps moving it into the sponsors banner will take care of that?
-------------------------------------

 Anyway, I wanted to do something to help this along. Since I already have numerous LogRite Cant hooks and peaveys and enjoy them very much I thought it would be nice to see if we can get one in the hands of somebody who hasn't not yet learned the joys of ownership of one of these fine tools.

 SO, if by some chance my name is pulled out of the hat, I hereby request that a second name be drawn and the prize goes to that lucky winner. This has to potential to double everyone's chances.

 When I do get my next hook, I think I am going to try to convince Kevin to make me a racing peavey, not because I am in a hurry, but because it would work really well on our mill deck. I know these are not sold to the general public for various reasons, but that's my goal anyway. Peavey or cant hook, it doesn't matter, these are great tools!

[thecfarm]

You sure do know the meaning of giving!!!!!

[Old Greenhorn]

I recall the joy I experienced when I got the first 60" cant hook and discovered how much better and safer it worked over my classic wooden ones. I wanted to share that joy with a new owner if possible.
 We have a 78", a 60", and a mill special, plus a 48" peavey and a 30" pickeroon (boy that's a handy tool!). I can't speak more highly of the quality and durability. Despite ridiculous abuse at times the only damage I have managed to do to these is gall up the label and scratch the powder coat on one when I used it as a pry bar to move a larger log splitter around a bit.
 Somebody else should feel that joy when there is so much junk in the world today.

[aigheadish]

Not to make it complex, but I'm with Tom, my name can be removed from the list of potential winners. They are great hooks but I don't have much use for one, as the zombies around here are kept at bay. 

[thecfarm]

I bought a peavey for the stepson. He does not cut many trees down, but does cleans up with his tractor. He really likes the peavey!!!!!!!

[Magicman]

I already decided last week when Jeff announced the contest, what I would do if I won. 

[Old Greenhorn]

Austin leave your name in with an automatic rollover over for another draw. That way you get to see if you are still a lucky guy.

You may have decided Lyn but you are the only one who knows what you decided on.

[thecfarm]

Three members know the meaning of giving.  

[Jeff]

What do we do if we get more people giving back than we have entries to draw from?

[thecfarm]

Have a drawing of any new active members in the last 6 months?

[YellowHammer]

I if I had won the hook, and I have been thinking of this for awhile while up in the deer stand, this whole raffle reminding me of a scene out of one of the best movies ever made - Sergeant York.  If I had won it, I was thinking of doing a force multiplier to bring in new members but not sure exactly, how, but I had lots more deer hunting and mulling to do - But..the plan kept coming back to the shooting contest for Lem's Beef Critter.  I was kind of thinking a subsequent (maybe New Years'd Day) sub raffle for all existing members including premium subscribers if I had won the hook.  At an additional $10 per entry for Premium and Existing members only, I would give the winner the hook, and the proceeds go to the Forum.  That would give the Premies a second chance if they desired, and any other members a shot as well.  A chance to cut center bull.

What do we do if we get more people giving back than we have entries to draw from?

My decision is not a give back and redraw but rather a "re-gift" and you are correct Tom, only I know what my decision is.

My three helpers, couldn't log without them.
