What is the difference between a Peavey and a Cant Hook?
Traditionally cant hooks were used around sawmills for turning cants. While peaveys were designed for and used
for river drives.
Both tools consist of a handle with a swing hook. The difference
between the two is what is on the end of the handle and the way the
tools grip a log.
A cant hook has a small toe hook on the end which provides a second
biting edge. A peavey has a point on the end which
is used to separate logs.
Today these tools are used interchangeably and are capable of doing the same jobs. So it comes down to personal
preference when choosing between the two tools. We have noticed regional preferences.

Logrite is proud to sell Council Tool's line of axes because the founders of both companies share similar beliefs and beginnings.
John Picket Council, like Kevin, began making tools because he was dissatisfied with the quality of tools available for purchase. Word spread about the value of the tools he handcrafted, and he subsequently found himself selling tools. The business was incorporated in 1886, and it's been manufacturing hand tools of one type or another ever since. Both John and Kevin believe that manufacturing a quality product, continuing to be innovative and being honest are keys to a company's success.
For well over a century, Council Tool has forged millions of axes; all of them 100% Made in the USA.
"Made in the USA" is a phrase that is particularly meaningful. This means just what it says at Council Tool. We use only American steel in our forgings, American hickory in our handles, and we use domestic material and supplies. Before we attach a "Made in the USA" label, we make sure ours is a quality product in every respect, that it measures up to our own standards, and that it is a product that will represent excellent value for the user.
Council Tool uses a variety of forging methods to produce their tools. Forging is simply striking hot metal with a hammer into a desired shape. The advantage to forging is that it improves the strength of the metal by aligning and stretching the grain structure. A forged part will be stronger than a casting or a machines part.
Before you buy a tool, ask if it is forged. Council Tools are.

TruckClaws™ are a patent-pending, all-season truck traction aid to help
drivers get unstuck, saving them time and the expense of tow truck
services. Simple to use and easy to install, TruckClaws™ feature a
traction cleat that attaches to a drive tire on the rear of a vehicle

TruckClaws™ are designed for commercial trucks that carry loads up to
80,000 lbs. Depending on weight and road conditions, two or four devices
are installed on the truck’s drive tires. Each claw can be installed in
less than 60 seconds, and each kit weighs less than 16 lbs., making
them easy to stow behind the seat or in a side box. TruckClaws™ II are a
smaller version designed for SUVs and four-wheel drive trucks. Under
extreme conditions, the effectiveness of TruckClaws™ II can be enhanced
with an optional extender bar to extend the claw’s width and traction
force creating a total of 16" of enhanced traction.
