Logjaw handle/carrier- logging- made in usa - log jaw
The LogJawTM is a patented steel hand tool that helps its users manipulate, move and carry logs. The LogJawTM will assist you in picking up and moving logs quickly, efficiently and more safely.
* anyone that works with logs or wood
Almost everyone has had that experience when the weight of an object wasn t the problem, it was just getting a good and safe hold on it that made it tough to lift. The LogJawTM allows you to "Get a Grip"!
* JAM it into the cut end of the wood
* LIFT up on the LogJawTM handle

Q. How much weight can I lift with the LogJawTM?
A. LogJawTM has been tested with load in excess of 1,000 lbs. So using LogJawTM as a hand tool, the capacity limit will be the users lifting capability.
Q. Do I need to purchase LogJawTM in pairs?
A. Having two handles instead of one on a log is often an advantage, particularly if the log is being carried instead of dragged. Having two LogJawTM also facilitates working as a team and moving larger logs. So, purchasing LogJawTM in pairs increases the versatility of the product. However, single LogJawsTM can be used by an individual to carry small logs and to drag larger logs, so depending on your projected usage, you may choose to own a single LogJawTM.
Q. Can I use it on the side of a log rather than the cut end?
A. We ve had limited success with this technique. We re trying to design another tool that might allow you to carry a log like that, but we haven t yet come up with something as reliable and easy to use as the LogJawTM.
Q. How big is the LogJawTM and how much does it weigh?
A. The LogJawTM tool is 11.5" long from handle to claws, 3.5" tall at the handle, and weighs about 3 lbs.
The LogJaw Story The original LogJawTM was fabricated from steel rod by welding, forging and machining operations. While these processes worked well for manufacturing a few LogJawsTM for personal use and to optimize its functional design, mass production of a professional quality tool required more controllable and efficient production means.
S.S. Technologies, West Olive, MI was selected to provide the engineering services to transform LogJaw TM from a home crafted tool to a commercial product. Investment casting was the process that was determined to be the best to manufacture LogJawTM as a commercial product. While investment casting is one of the oldest manufacturing processes in existence, in recent decades it has been refined into a high technology casting process widely used by the aerospace industry to manufacture precision castings such as jet engine components. Incorporating this production technology facilitates tight quality control of the metallurgy of the steel in each LogJawTM, assuring consistent maximum structural strength with minimum weight. Casting also facilitates contouring the gripping surfaces of the LogJawTM to match the human hand, optimizing its ergonomics.
LogJawTM is a family business and we take pride in the fact that from the original invention of the tool to the filing of your order, every aspect of the business is managed by a member of our family to assure your complete satisfaction. Assembly and final inspection of all LogJawsTM takes place in a family managed facility at the company headquarters location in Saranac, Michigan. We are also proud that LogJawTM is ....
