    Cool! An added plus, it's from the EVIL Koch Industries, and therefore guaranteed to make the heads explode of certain folks of political persuasions we will not discuss on this forum. :D

    You know...when I saw this I figured it was that family, but who knows if it is. There's lots of people out there with the same last name.

    I don't like supporting Walmart though. They pretty much sum up why the middle class is gone and Main Street mom & pops aren't as common now. :(

    It's them... http://www.kochind.com/ unless someone stole their company name and then they would be sued out of existence.

    I always figured the entire billionaire class with few exceptions was pretty weasily...especially the old money robber barons. I think that this is one family that people fixate on, but there are many others with dirt on their hands too...

    I'm not sure about the specifications listed? 2-1/4 inch by 3-1/4 inch? :rolleyes: Just for handling *teeny weeny* branches? :rofl: :lol: Surely not one made by the "Koch" brothers!!! :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    They can be found on Amazon for cheaper, probably made elsewhere in china, but at least you don't have to feel politically conflicted about purchasing.:picard:

    Depends on where ya grab it! You use it basically like a cant hook, except you roll the log up onto the tool itself, then the log is supported off the ground. You probably won't find too many logs you can't get a bite into.

    Price is great. I wonder if the 36 inch length would give enough leverage.
