Peavey or cant hook.....where?
« on: January 20, 2011, 06:30:33 AM »
Been trying to buy local, you know...support the small business guy, but I've run into the typical "We don't stock them", "Your the first person to ask for one of those in five years", or even "Shipping them here will kill you".

So where do you(you that use them) get your peaveys or even cant hook tools from?  Guess I could scrounge around the 'net all day and find a dealer.  But the few I've looked at don't seem to have any feedback(I'm a big feedback kind of person to see what kind of service I'll be ending up with)!

I bought one of each from Northern Tool . I used them last week end and they worked well. Based on reviews from the site I took a large file and sharpened the points on the hooks so they would grab better. If I had a grinder I would have used that. I bought the wood handle versions.

Life time warranty and you wont get a better tool or service!  Ask for Tammy or Kevin and tell them the forum sent you!

http://www.logrite.com/

I wont do business with Northern tool anymore as they have done nothing but knock off other peoples ideas and farmed it out to China to make and they are not near as good as the real deal.  If you take the Norther Tool look-a-like cant hook and compare it to the Log Rite cant hook you will know right off the bat the real deal is made right here in the US!

I bent the handle on one of the log-rite Pee-Vee's today :(
Was rolling an over sized Madrone log to the mill and placed the pee-vee between the log and the mill while using the clamp and a chain while assisting the other end in with the second pee-vee. Well the log was heavy and the handle bent.
Got a lot a good hard use out of these two but looks like it is time to order another one or two.

Found another use for a pee-vee.
Was milling the Madrone logs into 4" slabs 10' long as wide as the mill will cut.
Then off loading the heavy slabs by hand.   :P :-\ ::)
Needed a good roller and the handle of the pee-vee worked real good, just use the hook as a crank and crank the slab right off the log onto the stack at the back of the mill.
Down side is the hook can get you real good if it gets away from you.
