Another popular logger's peavey. The long 60" handle will move the largest logs that will fit on a sawmill. The extra leverage means less effort and less bending over to move those big logs. This peavey also offers a slightly bigger hook which will grip 10" - 36" diameter logs.
An aluminum handled logging peavey that is stronger and easier to use than traditional wood handled logging peaveys. The bright blue handle is easy to see around a sawmill or woodlot. The heat treated, zinc plated hook is built to last. The textured rubber grip is easy to hold.

Our standard series peaveys are great for moving and positioning logs on the ground. They have a 1.75" diameter handle and can be used with our Universal Log Stand.
What is the difference between a Peavey and a Cant Hook?
Traditionally cant hooks were used around sawmills for turning cants. While peaveys were designed for and used for river drives.
Both tools consist of a handle with a swing hook. The difference between the two is what is on the end of the handle and the way the tools grip a log. A cant hook has a small toe hook on the end which provides a second biting edge. A peavey has a point on the end which is used to separate logs.
Today these tools are used interchangeably and are capable of doing the same jobs. So it comes down to personal preference when choosing between the two tools. We have noticed regional preferences.
