These tools, which log drivers used on log rafts, had
a regular axe head on one end and a blunt tapered pick
on the other, called the grab skipper. It was used for
removing the grab dogs that had been driven into the logs.

Some grab skippers had a flat poll on one end, similar
to that of a single-bit axe. The poll was used for driving
or tightening grabs and log dogs.

Grab mauls were used for driving log dogs and grabs, as
well as for sledging. The opposite end, or the skipper, was
used for extracting grabs and dogs. The handles of these
tools were sometimes like pick handles, oval in cross
section.
