Excellent

I like this a lot. This tool is extremely nicely made and finished, with a thick paintjob. But what really sets this part from other log lifters I have seen is the welded keeper on the handle to hold the tong part in place– this allows you to place it in a cut and use it to lever a hung tree without the sharp tong flopping everywhere. Extremely convenient for storage and transport as well. The size is nice for general use. I like the cork handle but I am a little weary of how it will hold up on such a hard-use tool– time will tell how durable it proves to be. I'm not too worried about it, though– it's not really necessary, the tool would work just the same without it.

Ochsenkopf

Ochsenkopf ("Ox Head" in English) was founded by the Fahlefeld brothers in 1781 in Remscheid, Germany and is known as the oldest axe forge in Germany. All of its edged tools are manufactured of C60 steel, known for its incredible toughness, and ground to a cambered edge, rather than a simple knife edge - all of which guarantees longer tool life. Handles are hand crafted from ash or hickory, and the Rotband system ensures even greater safety and less likelihood of breakage. Today Ochsenkopf is part of the Gedore Group and offers a wide range of axes, hatchets, competition axes, splitting wedges, and other tools and accessories for the timber or forestry professional or the casual user who appreciates using the finest tools.
