Picard Blacksmith Tongs 500g - 12" Long, Classic Design, C35 Steel, For Material Thickness 13 to 15 mm, Blacksmithing Tools, Forging Tongs, 0004930-300

Awesome tongs for a beginner getting started. Very sturdy, and holds smaller stock very easily. Take note that these are very short. They have a pair of these on amazon with longer handles, but I'm fine with these. Put gloves on if you have to go deep into the forge with them.

Well made tood and fits great in the hand.

good quality

Works great in the forge. Keeps hands and arms safe while handling hot items.

Extremely fast delivery. Grat size. Sturdy for all my iron work needs. Great Price for thr product.

Perfect for blade smithing

I was linked to this item from a page on beginning blacksmithing. They can do the job for not causing me to burn my hands, but no matter how much pressure I use to hold onto a piece of hot steel, the piece will go flying out of the tong's grasp. I've had one piece of hot steel trim my bangs. They are a good set to get you started or if just mild fittaling, but you will end up making or buying a more reliable pair of tongs after a while.

These work exactly how this should! I have been doing forging for about a year and a half and these have held up great

Bought this as a starter tool for black smithing, still have it today!

Great for small to medium size Round metal for the forge

Parfait

Gute Qualität, wie ich es von Picard kenne und schätze.

My husband just got into Blacksmithing. I know most blacksmiths make their own tools to work with, but I felt it was necessary to have something that worked well and that he could model his own tongs off of. He was very excited when they arrived and they work fantastic. The front end is notched to hold round bar, while the back area opens large enough to hold any and all pieces of steel he has worked with to date.
