We just bought land and needed away to move trees that we have cleared on our property. The log hook surprised me at how strong it was effortlessly clamping onto and moving 12 to 16 inch diameter logs well into the thousand pound range. There is one design flaw. It requires either two people to use because you have to disengage the cloth which naturally clamps when lifting I managed to tie a rope to one into the claw and lead it back to my tractor steering wheel, I would just pull on it and it would release the jaw from the log that I was working with. It would be a great addition to add a release strap to the log claw but other than that I’m very impressed and would buy again if needed, but I don’t think I’ll need it. It’s solid steel.
