Why the 45" Log Claw
Some fires need a bigger tool. At 45 inches and 8 pounds, the Log Claw Ultra is the one you reach for when you're working a bonfire, running a commercial campground burn ring, or feeding a fireplace insert that the shorter sizes can't reach into. The 35" and 40" handle most everyday fires — but when the burn pile is taller than your kid and the heat won't let you get within five feet of the flame, the Ultra is what keeps you working safely.
Same 1-inch square steel tubing as the other Log Claws. Same powder-coated finish. Same laser-cut teeth that grip a 16-inch oak round and don't let it slip while you set it where you want it. The difference is reach and grip capacity — the Ultra was built for the loads the smaller sizes can't handle. Outfitters, commercial campground operators, lodge managers, hunting camps, and anyone who burns brush or runs a community fire ring will recognize what this tool is for the second they pick it up.
The dual-claw design and ribbed finger groove handles give you real control even at full extension. The 45-inch length keeps your hands and forearms back from the kind of heat that ruins lesser tools and the gloves that touch them.
Also called bonfire tongs, commercial fire tongs, an extra-long log grabber, or fireplace insert tongs — the 45" Log Claw Ultra replaces all of them with one tool that actually grips at scale.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The 45" Ultra is built for fire pits over 48 inches in diameter, bonfire rings, commercial burn rings, and any setup where the heat or scale of the fire makes the 35" and 40" too close for comfort. If your fire pit is under 48 inches, the 40" Professional is usually the right size. If you're working bonfires or running commercial fires regularly, the Ultra is the only option in the lineup that gives you the reach.
-
The 40" is the most popular size — built for serious outdoor use in standard large fire pits (36–48" diameter). The 45" Ultra is built for everything bigger: bonfires, commercial campgrounds, fireplace inserts with deep setbacks, and 16-inch logs that the 40" can't quite handle. Same construction, same steel, same teeth — just sized for the fires that need more reach and more grip.
-
Only if your fire pit is small. For standard backyard fire pits in the 24–36" range, the 35" Standard is the right call. For 36–48" pits, go with the 40" Professional. The 45" Ultra makes sense at home only if you have a large custom fire ring, a bonfire setup, or a deep fireplace insert that the shorter sizes can't reach into.
-
Yes — that's one of the main reasons people order the Ultra. Modern fireplace inserts often have deep firebox setbacks that put the burning logs 30+ inches back from the front opening. The 45" length gives you the reach to position and rotate logs without leaning your face into the heat. Measure your insert opening and confirm the 7.75" claw width clears it before ordering.
-
The 45" Ultra grabs logs up to 16 inches in diameter — the largest capacity in the Log Claw lineup. The 40" Professional handles up to 14" and the 35" Standard handles up to 12". For most bonfire and commercial use cases, the 16" capacity is what separates the Ultra from everything else on the market.
-
Because it's built from the same 1-inch square steel tubing as the smaller Log Claws — not the thin stamped metal that most log tongs use. At 8 pounds, the Ultra is more than triple the weight of typical lightweight tongs. The claws don't flex when you're hauling a 16-inch round, the handles don't bend, and the tool lasts for years of commercial use instead of one season.
-
Yes — completely assembled, no tools required. The Log Claw Ultra ships ready to use immediately. Heavy enough to feel substantial in the box.
-
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
-
Yes — contact us directly at sales@advantageoutdoorproducts.com for bulk pricing on orders of 6 or more. We work with campgrounds, outfitters, parks departments, and commercial buyers regularly.
-
For most standard indoor fireplaces and wood stoves, the 35" Standard is the better fit — the 45" length is hard to maneuver in a small firebox. The Ultra is the right choice indoors only for fireplace inserts with deep setbacks where you need the extra reach.
