Fiskars Log Tongs--Not in America?

[GaTrapper]

Why aren't we able to get a lot of Fiskar's products here in the states?

Anyone know if there is a way to order these?

That is a nice log tong.Don't know the answer to your question though.

Nice looking tongs. Not sure what the trigger is needed for, however. I've never seen them anywhere in the US. I suggest just asking your Fiskars dealer if they can get them. Often times, a dealer will just order what they think they can sell.

I own a couple pairs of the Husqvarna log tongs and like them a lot. Saves a lot of work when picking up firewood rounds - much less bending, and can pick up with one hand. It's not all that effective on split pieces.

The trigger makes a good tool a great tool. Although the Fiskars trigger looks a little gimpy.

I took a look through their catalogue, lots of cool stuff I've never seen nor heard of being sold here. I like their sappie/hookaroon.

However, they don't have their new splitting maul, the Isocore listed so they obviously cater to a different regional clientèle. Also, their warranty is 25 years in Europe, while it is lifetime here, maybe different laws?

Not exactly the same but I have a hand tong from Wood-Mizer that works well for me.  These are also available:  LINK

Fiskars is metric - only works on European trees.

Try the Husqvarna http://www.husqvarna.com/us/accessories/lifting-hooks/hand-lifting-timber-tong/574387501/

friend of mine swears by his husqvarna    http://www.husqvarna.com/us/accessories/lifting-hooks/hand-lifting-timber-tong/574387501/

we ordered and have been testing the Ochensenkopf  seen here on page 25      http://www.gedoretools.com/pdf/Kat_OCH_Forstwerkzeuge_2014_EN_.pdf
so far we like them and are considering carrying them.
