Theres plenty of good steel out there at good prices that you don't need to risk using rebar.

I will say this though. Rebar and Railroad spikes are good for practicing your hammer work if you're like me and can't afford to buy good steel and screw it up with bad hammer strokes. Or just to build your strength and confidence.

Also you can make your own tongs by buying things like big good quality nippers and pliers, and hammering them into shape.

Saw a book where the author did it so he could have cheap tongs and it seemed to work out well for him.

Just remember to cool your tongs from time to time as well.
