What is the difference between a cant hook and a peavy.

 A cant hook and a peavey are both logging tools used to move and turn logs. They are similar in design, but there are a few key differences.

Cant hook:

• Has two biting edges, which provides a better grip on the log.
• Does not have a pointed tip.
• Typically used in sawmills to turn cants (squared-off logs).

Cant hook

Peavey:

• Has one biting edge and a pointed tip.
• Can be used to separate logs, jab into the ground to slide or leverage logs, and store the tool easily.
• Typically used in logging operations to move and roll logs.

The following table summarizes the key differences between cant hooks and peaveys:

Feature	Cant hook	Peavey
Biting edges	Two	One
Pointed tip	No	Yes
Typical use	Sawmills	Logging operations

Which tool is better for you depends on your specific needs. If you are mainly moving and turning logs in a sawmill, a cant hook is a good choice. If you need a tool that can also be used to separate logs, jab into the ground for leverage, and store easily, a peavey is a better option.

It is also worth noting that the terms "cant hook" and "peavey" are sometimes used interchangeably. This is especially true in the United States, where peaveys are more common.
