Timber Croc

I have very kindly been given a loan of one of these and on looking at it thought... hmm.... I hae ma doots ya ken... but.

It is just excellent. Grips the end of the logs so that they can be cut right to the last log. No odd awkward lengths to be done by hand. The vibe from the chain saw seems to make them grip tighter if anything.

I am so taken with it I am off to Kelso this morning to buy one for myself.

I have looked at a fair few log grippers promising this and that but this one actually works.

Just thought to share.

Thanks for sharing that, they're not cheap but I do alot of log cutting so may be worth getting one. Never seen one before

Thanks PH for putting this up.
Over 3+ years I've gained "health" issues so OH has to do the jobs I would do without a second thought, we invested in a electric chainsaw BUT keeping the log stable was a major issue, so thanks again for posting this.

That's a handy bit of equipment and definitely on my wish list..i picked a tip up a while back regarding splitting with a axe or log splitter..which is place the logs inside of an old tyre..it stops the log from falling over and it also keeps all the split wood in the same place instead of it flying all over the place..

Bet that makes the old spltting axe bounce on a missed shot!

It is not pumped up..

Put two tyres one on top of the other and wire them together . This allows you to have a splitting log in the bottom tyre and something to work against .
