It's the best tongs I've ever used. Its not that often someone can reinvent the wheel but you did and its amazing. I've been using a log ox and had I discovered pinch a log first I wouldn't have purchased a log ox, it's a good tool but i would rather have 2 pinch a logs and a cheap timber jack and cant. It's also the easiest tool I've used to pick up a log and the safest I haven't had a single log slip out and grabbing from the end ensures your biting solid wood. Getting the tool off the log also works like it should you don't have to fight it, twist the tool and screw around, and eventually bend over and remove the hooks from the wood just a simple push and it lifts off or toss it, works great I think I will purchase another pinch a log next year so I have a spare and using them to haul 2 at the same time would be great. I burn 10 cord a year on a good year more on the real cold ones and this is a must have tool after owning for a short time. I can't imagine the backs and frustrations you've saved people by coming up with the pinch a log it's a great tool thanks.

Your invention is outstanding. I have a disability and your Pinch A Log has allowed me to get back into physical activity and that has been a life changer. I will be ordering a second Pinch A Log today so when my son visits we can do what I’ve always dreamed of, working together outdoors. Thank you. Sincerely

I meant everything I said it's so rare to buy something and it just works perfect. I've had some shoulder issues, nothing that requires surgery last winter several times i couldn't pick up my 2 year old though. I never wanted to spend money on a wood splitter because they cost good money and aren't everyday tools. But after last winter we purchased one and it was a good decision because the shoulder problems haven't been back and we have most of our wood put up just my wife and I. The pinch a log was another good decision so much so that carrying logs around is almost as much fun as cutting down dead trees. It's a great tool for a great price I will definitely put it to use. Thanks

Feedback - works as advertised: is a breath of fresh air to be able to move firewood with a straight back, and I'm still not so old that the name doesn't make me giggle.

The Pinch-A-log is a well made, simple to master tool. It saves your back from bending over to pick up firewood and keeps the sap off your hands. It's made in the USA and looks like it will last a long time.
