    A peavey is a type of tool used in the logging industry to handle and maneuver logs. It consists of a handle, often made from wood, with a metal spike protruding from one end and a curved hook attached. The spike is driven into a log, and then the hook is used to roll or slide it into position. It is named after its inventor, Joseph Peavey.

Wikidata

  1. Peavey

    A peavey or peavey hook is a logging tool consisting of a handle, generally from 30 to 50 inches long, with a metal spike protruding from the end. The spike is rammed into a log, then a hook grabs the log at a second location. Once engaged, the handle gives the operator leverage to roll or slide or float the log to a new position. The peavey was named for blacksmith Joseph Peavey of Upper Stillwater, Maine, who invented the tool as a refinement to the cant hook in the 1850s. Many lumberjacks use the terms interchangeably, though a peavey will have a spike in the end of the handle, and a cant dog will have a blunt end or possibly small teeth for friction. The Peavey Manufacturing Co. is still located in Maine and manufactures several variations.
