I received my Woodchuck Dual yesterday. Wow, very fast shipping! I put it together and got to play with it for a few hours. I am impressed. It is very obvious that much time, planning, and personal experience has gone into the designing of this tool. It is much beefier than expected without being oversized and impractical (51 3/8” w/point, 48 1/8” w/o point, 1.5” thick handle w/ .25” sidewall, 11 lb. assembled). You have solved the long dilemma of Cant vs. Peavey as well as whether to drag a separate log jack along or have a clumsy tool with one built in. If you want a Cant, you can. Just slide the very thick and tough Peavey point inside the handle and re-install the securing pin. I found out that I’m a Peavey man though. The point was very useful in pushing smaller logs and rounds around the pile as well as poking the ends of logs to straighten up the stack. I don’t know if this is acceptable use, but jamming the tip into the dirt and levering large logs to roll them was a piece of cake for the Woodchuck Dual. Rolling them with the hook isn’t much of a chore either. I thought the Peavey point may hinder grabbing of logs, but your multi-stepped inner jaw design bites right in on any contour. The hook also has two large teeth that sank right in accommodated anything I had here. I used it on 4’x26” Pine and some 8-10’x 18” Black Locust that was pretty heavy. Sorry, I’m not a Lumberjack, but I do collect as much free wood that the DOT cuts and leaves to rot in the woods along I-95. I am not allowed to skid any of this out by mechanized means, so your Woodchuck Dual and log tongs that I bought from Bailey’s along with my back side and a pulp hook are all I got! Trust me, the Dual is gonna save me lots of pain and help me get more and larger pieces. Hopefully I didn’t snitch myself out of your Lifetime Warranty, though I don’t think I will need it. I highly and honestly recommend the Woodchuck Dual. Times are tough. Buying junk means buying twice. BUY USA!!!
