Log lifter with improved leverage and adjustability

A lever device for lifting an object off the ground, the lever device comprising:

• a lever member having a distal end that is positionable immediately adjacent a bottom end of the object, the lever member having an outer member that is curved so that the lever member rolls about the outer member as the object is lifted off the ground, the lever member also having an inner member that is curved so that the object rolls or slides onto the inner member as the object is lifted off the ground;
• a grip member that is operable with the lever member to lift the object off the ground, the grip member being adjustable relative to the lever member to accommodate a size of the object being lifted, the grip member having a toothed or hooked end that grips the object so that as a lever force is imparted to the lever member, the grip member pulls the object onto the inner member of the lever member;
• and
• a handle that is attached to a proximal end of the lever member, the handle being graspable by a user to impart the lever force to the lever member and thereby lift the object off the ground.
