The Peavey Bangor Rafting Peavey represents 150+ years of American logging heritage through its one-piece forged construction that eliminates the weak shoulder joint found in inferior log-handling tools. This heavy-duty tool from the company that invented the modern peavey in 1873 features a Western Duck Bill Hook and comes in five handle lengths, allowing log handlers to choose the perfect leverage for rolling, lifting, and positioning heavy timber.

Key Features:

  • One-piece forged socket and pick construction
  • No weak shoulder joint between socket and pick
  • 2⅜" diameter quality hardwood handles
  • Western Duck Bill Hook design
  • Available in five handle lengths
  • Hand-forged in Maine since 1857
  • Designed by J. Henry Peavey in 1873
  • Built for heavy prying and lifting

Handle Length Options:

  • Multiple sizes for different applications
  • Shorter lengths for confined spaces
  • Longer lengths for maximum leverage
  • 2⅜" diameter for comfortable grip
  • Quality hardwood construction

Ideal for:

  • Sawmill operations
  • Log home construction
  • Timber salvage operations
  • Firewood processing
  • River drive reenactments
  • Logging museums and demonstrations
  • Heavy timber handling
  • Professional forestry work

Benefits:

  • One-piece forging eliminates failure points
  • Multiple handle lengths match specific tasks
  • Duck Bill Hook grabs logs securely
  • Strongest design for prying applications
  • Historic pattern proven over 150 years
  • American-made durability
  • Professional-grade construction
  • Essential for serious log work

Uncompromising Strength Through Design: The revolutionary one-piece forging of the socket and pick represents the key innovation that has kept the Bangor Peavey in production since 1873. Traditional peaveys join the pick to the socket through welding or mechanical attachment, creating a shoulder joint that becomes the inevitable failure point under heavy prying loads. By forging both elements from a single piece of steel, Peavey eliminates this weakness entirely, creating a tool capable of withstanding the tremendous forces involved in rolling multi-ton logs. The Western Duck Bill Hook provides superior bite into bark and wood compared to straight hooks, maintaining grip even on wet or frozen timber. The substantial 2⅜" diameter handle fills the hand comfortably while providing the strength to transmit maximum leverage without flexing or breaking.

Heritage Tool for Modern Work: The availability of five different handle lengths acknowledges that log work varies dramatically in scale and space—from maneuvering timber in tight sawmill decks to rolling massive logs in open forests. Each length provides a different leverage ratio, allowing workers to match the tool to both the log size and available working room. The Peavey Company's continuous operation since 1857 in Eddington, Maine, represents an unbroken chain of American manufacturing excellence, with each tool built to the standards that supplied the great logging drives of the 19th and 20th centuries. Whether you're building with logs, processing salvage timber, managing a woodlot, or demonstrating traditional logging techniques, the Bangor Peavey delivers the durability and performance that only 150+ years of refinement can provide—a true working piece of American industrial heritage.
