Right Hand Timberjack Log Lifter | Heavy-Duty Log Jack Helps You Lift, Move & Chainsaw Timber, Lumber & Wood | Grip Handle, Steel Body, Adjustable Hoo…

All steel construction: A plus, as it’s strong without being prohibitively expensive. Triangular brace on the stand side is a nice touch. I’m cutting up 16″ Douglas Fir logs over 24″ in diameter, a lightly built cant hook or timber jack wouldn’t last a day. I only cut firewood logs a few times a year, so I can manage with a somewhat heavy log jack. If I were working with a chainsaw for a living, I’d probably look at the Logrite aluminum cant hooks, which would cost about 200 bucks by the time you added the log stand.

The hardware is puzzling. M8 bolts and nylock nuts. Bolts are too long for their intended use, leaving 1/2 inch or more of exposed thread, which will undoubtedly become galled and damaged in time. Additionally, the hook pivots on a bolt, not a steel pin. This is something I’ll certainly change, either by locating and purchasing a pin, or making one on my lathe. Better hardware, appropriately sized, and a correct pivot pin would go a long way to improving the overall impression of quality. Also, the hook pivots inside a steel bracket, with a great deal of slop. I’ll fit up some spacers to close the gap between the hook body and the inside walls of the bracket to fix that issue.

Documentation consists of an exploded diagram, with no explanation for the different holes in the pivot bracket, and there is an inexplicable clevis which I believe may be to lock the hook open or closed. I guess…???

Not unhappy, although I should have shopped around. One of the big box stores has the exact same tool for 10 bucks less than I paid, and 20 bucks less than the current price. Do your due diligence before buying from Amazon.

FInal thought. There are three “features” I’m asked to rate: Durability, Sturdiness and Thickness (?). Durability and Sturdiness seem to be the same thing, at least functionally. Thickness could be relevant to weight, or to durability (and sturdiness!), but I’m not sure what it’s supposed to be so I don’t know how to rate that. Yes, it could be thinner, or it could be thicker. Perhaps there should be an additional category for “thinness”. The only relevant questions are for durability and functionality. Does it work and does it last? I’ll update after I get through the 5 cords of Doug Fir in my back lot.

I can’t recommend this as the tolerances aren’t very tight. This screams cheap and won’t hold up under any regular use.

Amazed at how effective this Jack is in lifting logs. Able to lift 14” by 10’ logs by myself and I’m 82.

I have 8ft. long logs delivered to my home. When they are dumped they fall like pickup sticks. The log lifter allows me to isolate a single log, roll it, lift it and safely cut it without damaging the saw chain in the dirt.

Easy to assemble. Sturdy. Makes lifting and holding fallen trees easier. Great leverage for sawing. Excellent for one man work.

Solid built, nice product. I wish the handle had a positive lock, instead of threads which loosen over time. The threaded on handle is not a deal breaker.

I bought 1 cheaper brand prior, that bend easily, this is very heavy duty and very well worth a few dollars more.👍

Great tool, keep logs off the ground when cutting
