Keep telling myself to get a pair. Look like bak savers TT ones are much cheaper then the Husqy ones. Don't think there's much performance difference. Be nice to compare them at the GTG & write a review ! ! (Hint hint)
I got a used 12" pair off ebay for 20 bucks I love em. Take a file and sharpen em up nice n pointy and they work even better Hay that hookaroon looks familiar
Also have a pair of the timber tuff tongs. They work great! I'm keeping my eyes open for a pair with a larger reach as well. Use a pick-a-roon for the log bucking trailer, indispensable.
Was looking hard at the Husqy 12" ones. Not sure I need 12" . You guys with the 8" tongs, ever need 12" or is the 8" plenty big ? (probably means 10" size would be perfect ) LOL
While I like the timber tongs, I would like some with the larger jaws as well. 12" sounds handy! If you can get a hand cart/dolly in there, they are might handy to bring multiple rounds to the processing area.
