Awalker Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 They are for holding hot things in or near the fire and on the anvil:D. Looks like the last pair are rivet tongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWooldridge Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 They are commonly called pickup tongs and are for handling blocks under the power hammer or picking up hot things off the floor. Very useful for a variety of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 The long ones are also good for giving folk who make wise cracks a swift smack. Oh wait! That'd be ME! Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Hill Forge Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 The long ones are for when your Doctor says "stay away from work for a while"...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
