I was about to head out to buy this at the local store:

but I (wisely) phoned first - it turns out that retail stores don't stock that item. I guess I shouldn't be surprised - not something most people will ever buy :>
Any idea where I can buy one locally? I don't know much about these - never used one - but the one I linked seems to be more heavy-duty than others. I've read about a lot of breakage with wooden handles. My present problem log is a 16' long 14" diameter oak log that I need to move in order to cut (can't cut it in the current position). Should I expect to be able to move that myself with a cant hook? How large of a log can one average guy move?
Any advice/experiences appreciated!
