Bear Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Saw something last week at a local store. They look like a large pair of tongs. About 2.5 ft long handles and flat jaws. The jaws were flat(i dont think they were serrated) ,about an inch deep, and at least 12" wide( maybe more like 16- 18"). Any idea what they would be used for?

Blacksmith Jim Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I think they might be sold as welders pliers/tongs.. I noticed a similar set recently. I've forged with tongs shaped like that before and found it handy for the particular piece I was working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
