Not Even Close to the "Stump Ripper"

Time owned: 6 to 12 months

I agree with PitVipers and Peter.
I, personally, am an old fashioned guy. I use Pillstrom tongs and the original hooks by Furhmont. (After many years in the field and lab, I can say I have never hurt a specimen with Pillstrom tongs. I believe its more the handler than the tool that harms the animals.) Having seen the big hype around the "indestructible" Pro-Field Hook, I purchased one. Needless to say, the Pro Field Hook does not even measure up to what Midwest says about it. During trips to Florida and Texas, my old Stump Ripper out performed the PFH in every aspect. PitVipers is right. By making it lighter, Midwest compromised some strength. I wasn't even flipping heavy stuff, just regular field work. I must say, though, that Midwest has come up with awesome products. Their M1 tong, herpetoloculture tools, boots, and, especially, gloves are top of the line.
I commend PitVipers on saying it. This is afterall a Midwest supported site. I hope we can get past the name of the company and all realize that most of the time, the effectiveness of a tool depends on its user. Afterall, a real painter can create a masterpiece with any paintbrush.
