Randy Griffin Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I think those are called fireplace tongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Coal tongs, used to take a burning coal from the fire to light other things like a pipe or cigar. Frosty The Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexmateria Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Thanks guys, I was really curious what it was. I don't think I'll have any use for it, is there something more useful I can re-forge it into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Not knowing what it's made of (steel vs. brass, solid vs. tube, etc), it's hard to say. It's probably better for you to sell it to someone who wants it and will pay you more than the scrap cost. Then go buy some steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 For years, I used a pair of those for pick up tongs, when I would drop hot steel or needed to clean out fire pot clinkers. I finally made a pair of pick up tongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexmateria Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Good advice, thanks JHCC. I'll do that. Maybe you guys can help me ID these hoof nippers too: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBones Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I am not very knowledgeable about horses nor the farrier trade, but i think those nippers are actually used on cattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Compound lever nippers! Holy Moly those were for something tough. Frosty The Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
