    tdaleh replied to jtm1811's topic in Tongs

    For flat stock I prefer closed mouth tongs . The draw back on closed mouth is they are width suspect .

    If I was left handed I would hammer with my left hand.

    Yes you are wrong you can do more damage than good . The face is only so thick taking anything off of it takes away rebound and years of service.

    Anvil shaped object not worth your money. In case you need a boat anchor than it would be ok.

    Pull up a comfortable chair get your favorite beverage a snack and start reading. Start with the stickies at the top of each section they will explain a lot. Then come back and ask questions.
