The timber tong has been made for firewood and small logs. The tong is 25.5 inches (65 cm} long which means you can work with your back straight when lifting and pulling timber. This working posture saves your back and helps you move larger logs. The link system makes the jaws work in parallel for a safer grip. The harder you lift the harder the jaws grip. This is very important when you handle larger logs. With your arm at your side and back straight, the LONG Timber Tong will reach a piece of firewood by your foot. With one natural motion and flick of the handle the jaws grab with no effort or stretching down.
