      Helpful?

  3. Given the description states 23" diameter, can I surmise the tongs can accommodate a log up to 23" in diameter?

  5. Lifting ring inside diameter?

    Will a standard 3/8" chain with grab hooks fit through the lifting ring? Can a grab hook be used on the ring itself?

    1 answer

    1. The inside diameter of the ring is 2 3/8". Provided the chain is less than 2 3/8" wide it would go through the center of the ring. A grab hook can be used as long as it fits in the center of the ring. It would be recommended to us a locking grab hook to prevent it from falling off the hook.
