Log grabber YATO YT-79901 930mm – tool for lifting and moving logs

The YATO YT-79901 log grabber is a 930 mm long manual tool designed for safe lifting, gripping and moving logs and timber. With an extended handle and a jaw mechanism, it provides improved leverage and a secure hold while reducing the need for bending and direct contact with wood. The tool is built for outdoor and workshop tasks such as firewood handling, garden maintenance and small-scale forestry work.

Advantages

The long 930 mm handle increases leverage and reach, allowing users to lift and move logs with less physical strain. The jaw mechanism secures timber to minimize slipping during transport. Sturdy construction and materials make the grabber suitable for repeated outdoor use and heavy handling of cut wood. The simple mechanical design keeps maintenance requirements low and allows straightforward operation in different working conditions.

• Collecting and loading firewood
• Moving logs and timber in gardens and yards

Key specifications

• Total length: 930 mm
• Long handle for improved leverage and reach
• Jaw/grip mechanism for secure holding of logs
• Robust construction suitable for outdoor use
• Designed for manual operation without power source

How to use

Position the grabber so the jaws align with the log to be lifted. Apply controlled pressure on the handle to engage the jaw mechanism and secure the timber. Lift using leg and core muscles rather than the back, taking advantage of the extended handle to maintain a comfortable posture. Transport the log to the desired location and gently release the jaws when the log is set down. Inspect the grabber before use to ensure moving parts operate smoothly and there is no visible damage.

Usage recommendations

Use gloves and appropriate footwear when handling logs. Avoid using the tool on wet, frozen or highly irregular timber that may slip. Store the grabber in a dry place and periodically check pivot points for wear or corrosion; lubricate if necessary to maintain reliable jaw movement.
