Logging tongs are used to grasp the log and hold it fast for skidding over the ground. Tongs are often used for skidding logs a short distance to a staging area for loading on a wagon or sled, and can be a quick-hitch option compared with wrapping a choker chain around the circumference of the log. 3, record 1, English, - skidding%20tongs
