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.

Hand Tool HowTo
Our log arches are the most effective, ergonomic and useful tools for low impact forestry, arborist and portable
sawmill applications. Log arches allow for low impact operations in sensitive areas, minimal ground disturbance
and clean logs for portable sawmilling.
These log arches are proprietary products in production since 1996. Originally manufactured for Future Forestry
Products, Inc. and now manufactured and distributed by LogRite Tools.
LogRite continues to lead the industry for design and development of state of the art, progressive equipment for
selective harvesting, thinning, log and material handling for forest land owners, arborists and sawyers.
We can move any log, anywhere, any size and on any slope.
Hookaroons are great tools for reaching into or across machines to clear a jam or move cants and logs. These tools extend your reach or keep your hands out of harms way. They can also be used for moving slabs or firewood quickly.
The Logrite Firewoodinator Firewood Systems are the fastest, most efficient and ergonomic splitting units available. They have a 2 ¼ second cycle time, use very little gas and are easy to use.
We started with a proven splitter that was fast, efficient, easy to use and maintain; then we built our system around it. The Firewoodinator eliminates the bending and lifting associated with splitting firewood.
The Firewoodinator units contain Super Splitter splitters. They use flywheels and kinetic energy to split wood. The Firewoodinator Firewood Systems also use the extra energy produced in the flywheels to run a capstan winch. The capstan winch will lift rounds and even full size logs up onto the unit. It can even yard the log to the unit!
The splitter produced ½ cord of firewood in 19 minutes at the Sawmill & Woodlot Magazine Firewood Shoot Out.
The Firewoodinator Firewood Systems base unit is built for speed and ease of splitting firewood or the manual processor is for processing 14 foot log lengths into firewood with the same ease and speed as the base unit. You can start with the base unit and add features as you go along.
So if you are ready to produce more firewood in less time with less effort call us today!
If you haven't heard the buzz yet, we would like to introduce you to our sister company, Bluecreeper. LogRite Tools purchased the company in 2011 after hearing that the owner was going to retire. Having used the penetrating, lubricating and cleansing products themselves, and like everyone else that has ever tried them, Kevin and Tammy knew that the products must live on. The former company was called "Rust Reaper" but soon after LogRite acquired the company, they renamed it in homage to the blue color the LogRite tools are now famous for.
We invite all of our current customers and website visitors to visit the Bluecreeper website and try the products. We know that you will be as impressed as LogRite Tools is. After all, that impression made them buy the company.
