19" Black Carbon Bent Hinged Foundry Crucible Tongs for Casting Precious Metals

To short for my needs

I use these for pit fired pottery.

Ok for the cost,but not very stronge

It is flimsy, I tried to lift just my empty crucible and the handles bent, I recommend buying PROCAST tongs which are CHEAPER then this crap. Absolute garbage for what they charge. I honestly believe it would cast me 5$ and half an hour to build these exact tongs but actually make them sturdy. Waste of time, waste of money, waste of space around my foundry. Threw them right where they belong, the scrap pile.

I use these for removing steel from my heat treating oven. They work well enough but are on the flimsy side. For the price they should be made of thicker steel. Not really worth it.

These work well enough, only complaint is the lack of grip, had to file my own stippling to create less slip.

Good set of tongs for light foundry use

Very thin and flimsy - definitely not worth $34.95. Will it hold a hot crucible? Yes, but again, not worth $34.95
