Log tongs Yato YT-79907

The Yato YT-79907 log tongs are designed for efficient handling and transport of individual logs and timber sections. Constructed from durable carbon steel with a PVC-coated handle, these tongs combine mechanical strength with a comfortable gripping surface. With an overall width of 275 mm and a reach depth of 770 mm, the tool provides sufficient opening and penetration to securely catch and lift round and irregular wood pieces commonly encountered in forestry and firewood preparation.

Advantages

Robust carbon steel construction delivers high tensile strength and resistance to deformation during repeated lifting. The PVC handle improves grip security and user comfort, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. The combination of jaw geometry and length ensures reliable bite into logs, while the overall dimensions suit a wide range of log diameters encountered in garden and forestry tasks.

Suitable for

• Manual handling and moving of felled logs and firewood
• Forestry and timber-yard work requiring single-operator lifting
• Gardening and land-clearing where logs need to be positioned or loaded
• Workshop tasks involving short-distance repositioning of wooden rounds

Key specifications

• Material: carbon steel construction for jaws and body
• Handle finish: PVC-coated grip for improved comfort and slip resistance
• Overall width: 275 mm
• Reach/depth: 770 mm
• Design: fixed tongs with jaw geometry for gripping round timber

How to use

Position the tongs so the jaws straddle the log, then apply downward pressure and lift slightly to allow the jaws to bite into the wood. Maintain a stable stance and use your legs rather than your back when lifting. For larger or heavier logs, use the tongs to secure the log and then reposition it with mechanical assistance or a second operator. After use, inspect the jaws and handle for damage and store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and safety boots when handling logs. Avoid lifting loads that exceed your physical capacity; for bulky or heavy timber, employ mechanical lifting aids or team lifting. Regularly check the PVC coating and steel parts for wear and corrosion and perform maintenance as needed to preserve safe operation.
