Well, they are finally here! The EZ DOGS.
Made of pure aluminium.
No knotching, bolting or preparing log bunks.
Fits 4"-5" wide bearers of any size depth.
Multi versatile arrangment options.
Easily replaceable alloy tips.
Simply hit them into the log, twist to engage.
A complete set will fit in your toolbox.
Inexpensive and robust.
I'll post all the relevant information and pics tomorrow, I was using them in Aus and had some great comments. They worked a dream. I did cut through them about 5 times :-\, no damage to the blade though, simply had to refile the tip of the dog spike a couple of times. Was trying to get down to that last inch, especially as the logs were 'A' grade ironbark.
These are a must for small logs. I have been converted!

Can we get a definition for that first word ??? ???
Seriously, what do you plan to sell them for in the US. I looked on your web page, and found a pic but no price.
Ok, heres the pics...
$81 USD per pair with 1 extra spike, robust meaning made of solid 8mm alloy plate.
Freights a killer when purchasing a pair etc, probably best to wait until Captain recieves them in stock, unless your buying a bundle.
This shows how they install on to your bearer and the alternative arrangement options.
Three tiny little logs at a time no problemo.
Trun the dogs facing butt to butt to edge resaw timbers.

It's not recommended, but should it happen the soft alloy will not take your teeth off. I hit the dogs 5 x with out a single chip on the blade. I would definately slow down however when you are near the dog as plowing through them would do some damage (like hitting a really tight knot).
I'll update our sponsor section shortly.
Thanks Jake. Those are not the dogs shown on the web page. I look forward to hearing more about them.
Those other dogs have been fully superceeded. Website will be updated soon.
I try to update you guys with the first glimps of new stuff coming out of the factory.
All your input is fully appreciated, Jake. Thanks for posting the new product updates.
