FFF Blacksmith Pick Up Tongs - Made from in the USA from new 5160

Description

These are my Pick Up Tongs
These tongs are a great option for manipulating billets, or odd pieces in or out of the forge, and for forging billets on the hydraulic press.
These tongs are forged from high quality, new, 5160 spring steel. They are 18-inches long and are held together with a 5/16-inch rivet.
These tongs have v-grooves in both jaws to provide superior grip and to allow for holding square and round rod.
All of my tongs are forged to finish, cleaned in a vibratory tumbler, and finished with a dry cosmoline rust inhibitor. (Not a greasy or oily finish.)
These tongs will open to hold up to 1-inch bar (more or less,) but can easily be adjusted by heating and bending, if needed.
All of my 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.
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.
