Any advice or comments? I have rattlesnakes around, and wrapping choker chains always has me skeeered...

Rather than running your hand under a log, start at the end on both sides of the log & pull the choker to where you want it to be.

There are some high dollar ones on the tube that look to be of good quality, but I wouldn't know because our tongs were probably built during the Revolutionary War, & still work.

I also have a set of roughneck ones you can get at amazon. Same thing on sharpening the points. You read reviews that tongs break but if your not putting 5 feet of slack in your chain and reefing on them they should be fine.

I like the timber tuff ones. You can beat them
In with a hammer if they don't bite well. But that's usually on real thick knobby bark like cotton wood.

I just looked up the timbertuff set and I was way off... (As usual)... I don't use tongs. I have drive in grabs. I cant remember what they're called but don't like tongs as much as these.

I'm a choker cable guy myself. But we don't have rattlers either.
