Features and Benefits
FEATURES and BENEFITS:
High-Quality Materials and Craftmanship:
- Handles are top quality straight grain White Mountain Hickory hardwood
- Kiln dried to 18% moisture content
- Precision cut to an exact fit.
Durable Steel Components:
- Duckbill hooks are drop forged with the bills ground to a fine point.
- Clasps and extension toe rings are ductile iron castings for longlasting service.
Operational Features:
- Dixie Industries manufactures two styles of Peavies for the professional logger: the Tubular Steel Socket Style and the Rafting/Bangor Style.
- The Dixie Bangor style peavy—our lightest tool—features a drop forged pick, precision welded into a drawn carbon steel socket. This one piece unit makes field repairs easier.
- The spike is rammed into a log or pole, then the hook grabs the log at a second location.
- Once engaged, the handle gives the operator leverage to reposition it.
- The pointed tip also makes it easier to get in between poles to separate them.
