The Garvee 28-inch log tongs are a four-claw steel grapple for lifting and dragging logs with a truck, tractor, ATV or skid steer. The four curved claws bite into the log from several sides, and the rated load tops out around 5,500 lbs, which puts it in heavy-duty territory for a tong this size. It suits firewood cutters, landowners and small-scale sawyers who move timber without a dedicated grapple. Against lighter two-claw tongs it grips rounder and irregular logs more securely, but it is a plain steel tool with no swivel or latch, so buyers wanting a self-releasing or rotating grapple should look elsewhere. Owners rate it highly, and the common praise is a strong bite and solid build.

Owners rate the tongs very highly and describe a firm bite on big, uneven logs. Most praise the build and the grip; the few complaints center on weight and manual handling.
This 28-inch log grapple has four angled claws that grip logs and tree trunks for lifting, dragging or stacking. The claw tips adapt to different log diameters. It opens to a maximum of 32 inches and holds logs up to 28 inches in diameter.
The frame is thickened, reinforced steel with a rust-resistant powder coating. It is rated for logs weighing 4409 to 5500 pounds.
It is designed for use with tractors, ATVs, UTVs, trucks and forklifts, and it is used in forestry, farming, landscaping and industrial work. It comes pre-installed from the factory, so it can be used right after unpacking.
