"One-Handed" Firewood Gripper

One-Handed Firewood Gripper WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous William Steines Wausau Wis recently sent photos of his “best buy” Lockhart Firewood Gripper that he uses to handle firewood The one-handed firewood gripper is available in three sizes to fit all standard firewood – small for logs 15 to 18 in long; medium for logs 18 to 21 in long; and large for logs 21 to 24 in long Each unit has two hooks with a handle in between The handle consists of a reinforced hydraulic hose inside a rubber hose which provides a soft bendable grip The hooks tightly grab the end of a log as you lift “I bought my first gripper about two years ago At first I was quite skeptical as to its usefulness but now I own three Grippers – two medium and one long ” says Steines “I find I no longer have a stiff and sore back after a day spent cutting firewood That’s because I no longer have to stoop to pick up heavy firewood blocks onto the splitter or trailer etc Several of my friends have also purchased grippers after using mine for just one day It’s definitely my best buy ” According to inventor Sam Lockhart your hands never touch the log so you never get them wet or dirty “People are amazed at how well it works It also eliminates splinters and bruised knuckles and the need to stoop to lift heavy logs The Gripper is guaranteed to lift at least 150 lbs but I’ve used it to lift 300 lbs The handle is soft but strong – one time I hooked the gripper between a truck and 4-wheeler and then tried to drive the 4-wheeler forward The 4-wheeler started spinning its wheels and almost pulled the truck backward but the gripper never came apart ” Prices for the firewood gripper small to large are $17 95 $18 95 and $19 95 plus $5 95 S&H for the first hook $2 for each additional hook Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Lockhart’s Firewood Gripper LLC E11721 Hwy Z Wausau Wis 54403 ph 715 842-0207; Samuelvlockhart@aol com
