You can use the rebar for tongs but it may not be the best choice. Since rebar is mainly made from melted scrap it will contain many different types of steel and may or may not be best for tongs. Ideally tongs should be of an iron or steel that won't harden or suffer from repeated water quenches.
Eventually you will need to weld a handle onto something and that's where I would use the rebar. [When I make handles I use a piece of it tack welded to a piece of pipe of equal size.]
