Fiery Furnace Blacksmith - Punch Tongs

Description: These are the Fiery Furnace Punch Tongs This is a style of tongs that I use daily and that I own multiple pairs of. They are designed specifically for holding punches, chisels, touchmarks, and drifts securely as you hammer. This effectively keeps your hand away from hot steel and away from your hammer swing, while also making it easier to see exactly where your tool is located as you strike it. These tongs can be used with any of the punches and chisels I offer and can also be used to hold shorter tooling for work under power hammers. The jaws of these tongs are set up for holding 5/8-inch round and square stock but will also work with tools that are slightly larger or smaller. They can, of course, be altered by heating and bending the jaws to accommodate different sizes. They are about 16 inches long. All of our tongs are made from new 5160 spring steel. This makes them lighter and stronger than other tongs, which translates into a more comfortable grip and less fatigue on your hand. All of my tongs are forged to finish, cleaned in a vibratory tumbler, and finished with a dry linseed oil/turpentine mix, rust inhibitor. (Not a greasy or oily finish.) DO NOT QUENCH TONGS! If you heat these tongs up and cool them in water, they will break. It is EXTREMELY bad habit to overheat your tongs. Good habit is to dunk your tongs in water rapidly, IN and back OUT very quickly. This will cool your tongs down slowly and prevent making the material hard and brittle. If you do not understand this process....do not hesitate to ask questions. ________________________________________________________________ Check out the rest of my store! https://www.ebay.com/str/fieryfurnaceforge This listing is for one (1) pair of Punch Tongs, the square punch pictured is for display purposes only and is NOT included!
