Cant Hook - 60" Handle
An extra foot of leverage on this 60" cant hook and bigger hook makes for easier handling of larger logs. Will grip logs from 10" - 36" in diameter.
The most important of all log handling tools, the cant hook helps to roll logs over and position them for cutting and yarding.

Can't Hook vs Peavey: What's the difference?
Cant hooks were traditionally used in sawmills for turning cants, and peaveys were used on river drives. Today the tools can be used interchangeably, so which to use is a matter of personal preference.
Both Cant Hooks and Peaveys have a handle with a swing hook called a dog. A cant hook has a small toe hook on the end for a second biting edge. The point on the peavey is used to separate logs.
