Paid $25 for these 5 pairs of tongs. Anyone have any idea what the odd pair could be used for?

I think they are an adjustable wrench for square headed bolts.

I answered an add on craigslist and brought home six buckets of tools, 3 buckets of scrap steel (some tool grade), 50 plus horse shoes and 250# of bituminous coal. There were 87 different hammers, chisels, punches, tongs, top swages, pritchels and hardy tools. On average I paid less than three bucks each for the tools.

Here is the photo gallery.

Finnr,
When it rains it pours. Looks like you had a good week too. I don't know what others have experienced but it seems that the more folks know I do this the more stuff seems to come my way. Little scraps or the odd tool.
