Why the 35" Log Claw
This is the size most people actually need. At 35 inches, the Log Claw reaches into a standard backyard fire pit without getting in its own way, fits inside the firebox of an indoor fireplace, and lines up with the opening on most wood stoves. The 40" Professional and 45" Ultra are built for big outdoor burns — but if your fire lives in a 24 to 36-inch pit, a fireplace, or a stove, the 35" is the one that earns its place on the wall.
Five pounds of American steel doesn't sound like much until you compare it to the 2 to 3-pound stamped-metal tongs that dominate the rest of the market. Same 1-inch square steel tubing as the bigger sizes, same powder-coated finish, same laser-cut teeth — just sized for the fire most people actually have. The dual-claw design grabs a 12-inch oak round and holds it while you set it exactly where you want it. The ribbed finger groove handles give you a grip that doesn't slip when your hands are cold or your gloves are damp.
Also called fire pit tongs, fireplace tongs, a firewood grabber, log grabber, or campfire tongs — the 35" Log Claw replaces all of them with one tool that actually grips, indoors and out.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The 35" is the right fit for standard residential fire pits in the 24 to 36-inch diameter range — the most common size in American backyards. It's also the go-to choice for casual fire pit owners and anyone who wants one tool that works both outside and inside. If your fire pit is over 36 inches, the 40" Log Claw is the better fit.
-
The 35" is the only size in the lineup short enough to maneuver inside most standard indoor fireplaces. The 7.75" claw width and 35-inch length fit the typical residential firebox opening. For very small fireplace openings, measure first and compare to the claw width.
-
Yes — the 35" is the size most wood stove owners reach for. Measure your firebox opening and confirm the 7.75" claw width clears it. The 35-inch length keeps your hands well away from the stove glass and the heat. The 40" and 45" sizes are usually too long for most stove openings.
-
The 35" Standard is built for everyday use — standard fire pits, fireplaces, and wood stoves. The 40" Professional is the most popular size for large fire pits in the 36 to 48-inch range. The 45" Ultra is built for commercial-scale fires, fireplace inserts with deep setbacks, and maximum reach. All three share the same heavy-duty steel construction and laser-cut claws.
-
Because it's built from the same 1-inch square steel tubing as the bigger Log Claws — not the thin stamped metal that most log tongs use. At 5 pounds, the 35" is more than double the weight of the lightweight tongs on the market. You feel the difference the second you pick it up. The claws don't flex under load and the tool lasts for years instead of one season.
-
The 35" Log Claw grabs logs up to 12 inches in diameter. For larger logs, step up to the 40" Professional (handles up to 14") or the 45" Ultra (handles up to 16").
-
Yes — completely assembled, no tools required. The Log Claw ships ready to use immediately. Makes an easy gift for the fireplace or fire pit owner who already has everything else.
-
Available in Satin Black, Red, and Tropical Lime Green. All colors use the same weather-resistant powder coat finish. Select your color above before adding to cart.
