I understand. Old stuff never dies, at least in our minds anyway.

I gave one of the new orange 48" cant hooks a good workout today.

For some reason, my cant hooks always give me a good workout.

This reminds me that I have to buy another one for twisting hung up trees to the ground.

The two old cant hooks and the 5" peavey will now live at the tree farm. They will be used to adjust firewood logs for bucking, etc.

The short cant hook and smaller peavey (metal handle) will still travel with me. They will just have to "sit down, shut up, and hold on".

I have one of the 2 foot (old style) cant hooks and it still goes with me too!

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.

Great Idea MM, I have an entire roll of SOLAS reflective tape that I've been looking for a use for. ;D

If you are in need of a plug for the end of your hook you can make one in minutes using a hole saw and hardwood.
This one in the picture has an eye bolt for clamping the two halves together while the glue dries but I'll replace it with a carriage bolt later, when I find one.

How about a pic of where that plug goes? Didn't know they needed one. Just curious

Kevin · November 09, 2011, 01:49:56 PM

It's just a cap for the handle tube.
I carry mine handle down and the foam grip is worn off on the end.
Now it will ride on the wooden cap and steel carriage bolt head.

what pray tell is a telephone :D cranks start engines ???

ljmathias · November 12, 2011, 06:42:30 AM

I would guess the tape is there so you don't accidently saw through them (see related post below...). :D It's strange but I rarely use my cant hook- with the FEL and lift hooks plus hydraulics on the mill, I almost never have to arm strong anything.... or maybe I've just gotten lazy in my advancing years. :D

Magicman · November 12, 2011, 08:22:48 AM

Some of us are not set up stationary and do not have access to a FEL. ;D

Ask Radar67 if the new Logrites were working yesterday ???

Radar67 · November 13, 2011, 02:06:51 PM

More like are the Logrites working Radar67. You missed your opportunity to get a picture of me using two at once. ;)

Magicman · November 13, 2011, 02:48:01 PM

I have never seen a guy using Logrites like "chopsticks". :D He actually had one in each hand. I believe that those two new Orange Logrites got into his eyes. I counted then before he left. ;)

I got a very nice compliment on my Logrites on this week's road trip saw job. The customer's Mother was watching me unload the truck and prepare for sawing. When I lifted the three Logrites out, she saw them and commented that they looked very professional. This was from a lady that no idea what they were or what they might be used for. She only knew that she was impressed by them.

I continue to be also.

love my logrite....I have to say..I use two cant hooks at a time semi regularly...rolland hold with one and grab, hold and roll with the next...usually when I am trying to get a log over a hump or something...especially if I do not have my big iron breaker bar on hand...

Magicman · March 17, 2012, 11:13:29 PM

Got chopsticks ???

zopi · March 17, 2012, 11:50:59 PM

yes I do..

I don't eat with the cant hooks though..lol

WDH · March 17, 2012, 11:55:37 PM

They are not made in China, so you do not need chopsticks

Magicman · March 18, 2012, 09:30:19 AM

In Reply #40 above, I laughed at Dodgy Loner using two Logrites like chopsticks. Maybe it is "catching".

A new form of transportation, atop a log with a LogRite in each hand, just toolin' down the road...

<shrug> cheaper than skis..

Dave VH · March 18, 2012, 06:39:35 PM

me and my boys love my logrite. My 8 year old can roll logs with me onto the mill with it. it makes him feel real good to move a big log around just be having the right tool. sometime I want to get a 42" also.
