Standerd Galv. or Black Pipe Cant hook

That is an ugly log, even for a LogRite  .

The only thing I dislike about the Logrite's is the diameter of the handle. It's about 1/4" to 1/2" too big for my hands.

I have an improved 60" Logrite, which is much better than the original. I managed to trash the handle of my first Mill Special (which in those days was a smaller diameter). There was only about 12" of straight handle at the end -- rolling a 4000 pound log over it will tend to do that. I had already removed the grip material from my 60" tool (to reduce the diameter a little) and I noticed that the inside diameter was the same as the outside diameter of the Mill Special. So I cut 12" off the end of the MS and stuck it in the freezer overnight. The next day I put a torch to the end of the 60" Logrite, and then I pushed the small end into the large handle. It got in about 4" before the temperature's equalized. Now I have a 68" cant hook with a small diameter handle on the end.

I was going to have the two pieces welded together but I didn't have to. The "insert" hasn't budged at all.

Unless you roll something over it, the greatest bending stress on the handle is right where the hook is connected. It gets smaller and smaller as you move toward the end of the handle (which is why the wooden handled ones are so fat at the hook). Personally I'd like to see Logrite make a modified handle with perhaps the last 1/3 of the handle being a smaller diameter. I suspect it would add to the cost, however.

Having said all that, I'll take a Logrite over a wooden handled peavey/cant hook any day.

  This is the cant hook I built a few weeks ago out of DOM tubing.  The welds are not the best I have ever done.  I have since purchased a hood with a lens that I can actually see through.  The brail method of welding is not my favorite.  I used the cant hook quite a bit yesterday moving some cedar around

  .  I painted it Old Kubota orange so that I could find it.  Sharpening the point on the hook really makes this thing stick.  The top of the handle was wrapped with athletic tape.
