I bought a 1/2" u shaped attachment that has A removable bolt so it can slip through the ring and then through hook on the end of my cable. I am not using it with a chain, I am using it with a crane jib with cable.I had to go with 1/2" because of the safety latch on my hook.

Diameter of the ring material, i.e. will 3/8 mouth hook work with the ring?
Need to grab the ring with a hook, what is mouth size of hook I need? Will 3/8 do, the standard hook on most drag chains?

The 3" diameter ring is 3/4" thick. A 3/8” hook would be big enough unless the chain was threaded through the ring and hooked back to the chain.

Will these tongs lift wood "rounds"?
I need to lift large diameter heavy wood "rounds" and place them on my wood splitter. The rounds are 16" to 20" in length. Will these tongs bite into the wood and grip it for the lift?
