Ken G Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 This is another set of tongs I picked up at an auction. Any idea what they may have been used for? I've searched through the archives and haven't seen anything like them. They look home made and are pretty heavy duty. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Timothy Miller Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Those are normally called hammer eye tongs. They are for holding hammers and other handled tools by the handle hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken G Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Thanks. Once you told me what they are called, I was able to find other examples. Thanks again for the quick reply. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
