The Claw | Handheld Log Grab | Built in Fermanagh
Manual handheld tool • No hydraulics required • Hardox steel throughout • In stock • £70 excl. VAT
The McElhill Engineering Ltd Claw is a handheld manual log grab built from Hardox steel in our workshop in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. There are no hydraulics, no cables, no power source and no machine required. You pick it up, you grip the log, you move it. That is all there is to it. At 10kg and with a 600mm open jaw, it gives you a controlled mechanical grip on logs that takes the strain off your back and gets the job done faster than any other method of moving timber by hand.
The Claw is built for farmers who cut and handle their own firewood, sawmill operators who need a reliable daily tool for moving logs, and anyone on a farm who regularly needs to shift timber without an excavator on hand. It is compact enough to throw in the back of a trailer, tough enough to take the kind of daily use that farm tools get, and built from the same Hardox steel we use in our excavator grabs. Not mild steel. Not a cheap import. Hardox, built in Fermanagh.
Every farmer who cuts their own firewood knows the job. The chainsaw does the cutting but then the logs need moving, stacking and handling, one at a time, by hand. Rolling awkward shapes, bending down, losing grip. It adds up. The Claw gives you a mechanical grip that takes the effort out of handling individual logs. Pick up, move, place. Your back will thank you and the job gets done in half the time. In stock, £70 excl. VAT, ready to dispatch today.
A simple tool that makes a real difference anywhere logs need to be moved by hand.

The Viper range covers every timber handling job, from large excavator-mounted hydraulic grabs to handheld manual tools for the woodpile and sawmill.
No. The Claw is a completely manual handheld tool. No excavator, no hydraulics, no power source of any kind. You pick it up and use it. That is the whole point. It goes anywhere on the farm or yard without needing a machine nearby.
The Claw has a jaw opening of 600mm which covers the majority of firewood, farm timber and general log sizes that you would be handling by hand. For larger diameter logs, The Fang gives a wider, more stable dual-arm grip.
Yes. The Claw is kept in stock at our Fermanagh workshop and is available for immediate dispatch. No build time, no waiting. Call 07734 357045 to order.
The Claw is built from Hardox steel throughout. This is the same abrasion-resistant high-strength steel we use in our saw head blades. It is significantly harder and more wear-resistant than standard mild steel, which means it holds up to the daily wear of farm and firewood use without bending, deforming or losing its grip.
The Claw is a single four-tine handheld grab. Compact, direct and easy to use for everyday firewood and farm timber handling. The Fang is the dual-arm version with a wider grip that wraps around the full log, giving more stability when handling larger diameter timber. If you are regularly moving big logs, The Fang is the better tool. If you mainly handle standard firewood sizes, The Claw does the job.
