A log jack lifts one end of a log off the ground so you can make clean cuts without burying your chainsaw bar in the dirt and binding the bar in the cut. Here is how it works: lift the hook and set the aluminum handle upright next to the log. Wrap the hook over the log so it grabs the wood, handle pointing straight up. Pull the handle back 90° onto its two feet. The log is now elevated, resting on the aluminum handle, held in place by the hook. Cut from the raised side. No bending. No bar in the dirt.

All three lift logs off the ground and roll them into position. That's what every Woodchuck lift-and-roll tool does. The difference is capability. The Timberjack lifts logs from 5 to 20 inches and rolls and repositions them with the hook. It's the simplest tool in the lineup with no extra mechanisms to manage. The TimberPro lifts the same range and adds cant teeth. They grip the log for controlled rolling up to 20 inches and cradle smaller logs in place on the handle while you cut so they don't shift. If you're rolling logs regularly and want a stronger bite with the cant teeth, get the TimberPro. The DualPro lifts 5 to 20 inches and rolls logs up to 30 inches. The front foot detaches via a clevis pin (no tools needed) for clean rolls on the largest-diameter logs. Inside the front foot is a retractable peavey point for separating frozen or tightly packed logs. If you want one tool that handles every configuration, get the DualPro.

Both roll logs. The difference is the foot. A cant hook has a flat base. A peavey has a spike: it drives into the ground as a second leverage point when you're rolling heavy logs uphill or separating logs packed tight. The tradeoff is the peavey point could mark the wood, which matters if you're after a live-edge slab.

With that said, here is the simple buying distiction:

- For firewood and bucking, a cant hook is cleaner.

- For rough terrain and large logs on the ground, a peavey gives you more control.

Why can't I just get a tool that functions as both a cant hook and peavy?

The DualPro covers both functionalities. Remove the front foot and you can deploy the peavey point for terrain and separation work, or flip it around for a flat base and cant hook function.

The DualPro It is a cant hook, a peavey, a log jack, and a log roller in one tool.

The Hookeroon picks up and moves individual pieces: rounds, split wood, and billets. One at a time, from standing height. No bending.                                                       

The Skidderoon is the Hookeroon with a cable system added. With the patented cable technology, you can seamlessly wrap around a bundle of brush, limbs, or smaller logs, tighten it down via the handle, and drag large loads in one trip. If you're clearing land or moving large volumes of debris at once, the Skidderoon is built for you.

In situations where you won't need to drag and skid, the cable functionality can be removed in seconds, effectively leaving you with a fully functional Hookeroon.

The Timberjack and the TimberPro can lift and roll logs from 5 to 20 inches in diameter. The DualPro lifts 5 to 20 inches and rolls logs up to 30 inches. The Hookeroon and Skidderoon handle rounds, split wood, billets, and brush of any manageable size. They're picking and dragging tools, not limited by diameter.

The handles and frames are built from 6061-T6 aluminum: high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistant. The hooks and structural components are high-strength powder-coated steel. The Hookeroon pick is ultra-hard stainless steel. Domestically sourced materials, built in Pennsylvania.

The Timberjack, TimberPro, and DualPro are covered by a lifetime warranty. No paperwork, no expiration date, no registration required. The one exclusion is the hook — the steel, powder-coated component that attaches to the log. It is a wear part and is not covered.

The Hookeroon and Skidderoon are not covered under the lifetime warranty.

Yes. Every Woodchuck Tool is designed and fabricated in the United States. The aluminum comes from Bristol Aluminum in Levittown, PA. The steel is sourced from Carbondale, PA. All fabrication happens in Shohola, PA.

The one exception: the fasteners. The nuts and bolts used in assembly cannot be sourced domestically at the grade and quantity required. Everything else in the tool is American-made: the hooks, the picks, the handles, the structural hardware. The fasteners are the exception, and we are transparent about it.

Cheap knockoffs, mostly from overseas, have flooded the market. They look similar in photos, but the materials and durability are not in the same league. Woodchuck Tools are built from 6061-T6 aluminum and high-strength powder-coated steel, both domestic. We have patented designs, refined over 17 years of constant testing.

Additionally, authentic Woodchuck Tools are backed by a lifetime warranty. The knockoffs are backed by nothing. Don't be fooled by cheap lookalikes; invest in the real deal.
