Product Comparison
Yato Log Tongs 330 mm stand out on the market with their efficiency and ergonomic design. Compared to, say, Fiskars and Bahco log tongs, Yato offers a better price and rubber-coated handles that work great for long work shifts. Fiskars models are a bit longer, but their plastic handles don't give as secure a grip in wet conditions. Bahco models are better for smaller wood pieces, so Yato is the better choice for handling medium-sized logs.
