Sappies

This quality tool is certainly not as well known as it is generally used in forestry. A sappie is simply a steel hook attached to a handle that allows tree trunks to move or pick up. With a powerful blow, the tip of the hook is knocked into the wood so that the forest worker can turn or pull the trunk. These tools are offered by Hammerkauf on the website and manufactured by the two companies Ochsenkopf and Northwood. Depending on the size and weight of the tree trunk, the forest worker can choose among the size of the various transport tools. A special sappie of ox head is a handsappie that is especially lightweight. This unit is equipped with an aluminum alloy handle whose weight is low, which makes it easier to carry wooden blocks. With this device, split logs and logs can be easily transported for stacking. Northwood also offers similar tools that are often used. If Hammerkauf offers such a quality tool to its customers on the website, every interested party should strike. The equipment can be said that the tools KFW are tested, the aluminum handle has a high strength and is provided with a non-slip plastic handle. Moving or picking up wood with the Handsappie, no matter what size, is easy and spares the back. A Handsappie from the company Northwood is a forged quality tool that has a total length of 38 cm.

A particularly large handsappie is 110 cm long, with which the forest worker can turn or transport larger pieces. The special feature of this tool is the toothing, which was milled out on the outside of the steel arm. Thanks to this toothing, the hook holds more securely in the frozen wood, so that the transport is safer. The stem is made of ash wood and is slightly thickened at the end to prevent slipping.
