Anyone using the 2-claw type? I mostly lift smaller logs for milling and splitting.
I noticed Amazon and GARVEE both have 2-claw log lifting tongs — wondering if they stay steady or tend to twist under load.

It all depends on the size and shape of the log, how you grab it, how good of a bite the tong's teeth get, etc. I use one similar to what you have shown and it's been ok, but not fool proof.
