Mountainhouseforge Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I was given two sets of the tongs in the photo. What are they used for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenylittlemetalguy Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 similar to a shoe spring tool but not exactly. I bet it is not for blacksmithing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarry Dog Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hmm...crescent tongs? I know, spri g remover. But that's a handy idea. I might have to figure out how to make adjustable tongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
