Dixie Log Peavey (Bangor) - 2-1/2" Handle

LOG PEAVEY

WHAT IS A LOG PEAVEY?

A log peavey is an essential daily forestry tool used for turning heavy logs or dislodging them from entanglements. It consists of a wooden handle, a metal spike protruding from the end and a sharp-toothed curved swing hook. The metal spike can be rammed into a log, then the swing hook would grab the log at a second location.

DIXIE PEAVEY FOR LOGS - BANGOR STYLE

Dixie Industries story dates back to 1910 where William, Emil, and Fred Stocker came to Chattanooga, Tennessee to escape the cold winters in Michigan. Due to the rise of the timber industry and the abundance of strong Hickory wood in Chattanooga, the brothers incorporated Dixie Logging Tool Company there.

Since 1910, Dixie Industries has provided the forestry and logging industry with a top-quality tool. Generations of loggers have come to rely on the quality and dependability of Dixie Industries for long life and the ability to withstand the most rugged forestry applications.

Dixie proudly manufactures these Cant Hooks in the USA. The log peavey's handle is top quality straight grain white mountain hickory hardwood, kiln-dried to 18% moisture content, then precision cut to an exact fit. This Bangor (also known as Rafting) style Log Peavey is also a lightweight option, making it easier to handle.
