swedefiddle Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Good Morning, Kind of like asking, "I've got this hole, will it hold water". Try being a little more loose with details, or pictures. Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolcanoForge Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Sounds like they are Farrier tongs. For holding horseshoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyler Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 ok but i still have one ? why are there shallow indetions in the center of the tongs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K. Bryan Morgan Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 That actually helps with the grip. They will hold a piece of steel tighter than if they were just flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
