With this home-made device, it will be much more convenient to carry firewood and long branches in a summer cottage. You can make such a tool from ordinary pliers that you have not used for a long time, and other improvised materials. You will also need to carry out small welding work, but let's talk about everything in order.
The main stages of work
First, the surface of the pliers must be cleaned from rust and dirt. Then, at the ends of the handles, you need to make small cuts with a grinder and weld two steel segments with a sharp end perpendicularly to them so that they look at each other. It will be captures.
Then it will be necessary to cut one of the sponges, and to weld a short piece of steel pipe to the other sponge (it is advisable to choose a pipe of such a diameter so that it fits comfortably in your hand). After this, you need to once again well clean the surface of the pliers and the weld seams with a metal brush.
Operating principle
To work with such a homemade tool is very simple - we clamp the firewood or branch with the back of the pliers (where the tips with a sharp end are welded) and pull, holding the handle from the pipe. This is much more convenient than just pulling branches with your hands.
