FAQs

What materials can these tongs hold?

These tongs are designed to hold various shapes of hot steel, including square, round, and flat stock, as well as bolts and blades.

Are these tongs suitable for a beginner?

Yes, this set provides a comprehensive starting point for beginners, covering the most common jaw styles used in traditional blacksmithing.

Do I need to heat-treat the tongs before use?

No, these tongs are pre-manufactured and ready for immediate use upon arrival.

How long are the handles?

The handles are 18 inches long, providing a comfortable distance from the forge heat.

What type of steel are the tongs made of?

They are constructed from durable carbon steel with A3 steel rivets.

Can I use these to hold cold metal?

While they will grip cold metal, they are designed specifically for the thermal expansion and grip requirements of hot-forging steel.

Troubleshooting

Joints become stiff and hard to operate

Clear any debris or forge scale from the pivot area with a wire brush and apply a small amount of machine oil to the rivet.

Tongs are not gripping stock securely

Ensure you are using the correct jaw type for your stock shape. If the jaws are permanently distorted, adjust the tension by lightly tapping the rivet with a hammer.

Surface rust appearing on the tongs

Use a wire wheel or abrasive pad to remove surface oxidation, then immediately apply a protective coating of mineral oil.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile jaw variety for different stock types
  • Extended handle length prevents overheating the user's hands
  • Ergonomic design minimizes fatigue over extended work sessions
  • Robust construction handles high-temperature forging demands

Cons

  • Carbon steel material requires rust preventative maintenance
  • Not intended for non-forging heavy duty industrial clamping
  • Requires periodic adjustment of the rivet tension

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Upon receiving the set, inspect each rivet for smooth movement. If the tongs feel too loose or too stiff, they can be adjusted using a hammer and anvil to tighten the rivet area.

Compatibility: This set is compatible with most standard anvil setups and forge sizes. The jaw profiles are designed for typical hobbyist and custom blacksmith stock sizes.

Maintenance:

  1. Clean away scale and debris after every forging session using a wire brush.
  2. Apply a light coat of forge-safe oil to the rivet and jaw surfaces to prevent rust.
  3. Store in a cool, dry place; avoid leaving tools submerged in water or exposed to extreme humidity.
  4. Periodically check the joints for excess play and tighten as needed to maintain accuracy.
