Modified Tongs

These old flat jaw tongs were modified by heating the jaws, grab a piece of square stock, (in this case my guess it was 3/4 X 3/4), forge the jaws around the square stock. I may have used a bottom swage, it was a long time ago.
These tongs hold round, square and flat stock nicely. They are safer than flat jaw tongs.

There are some flat jaw tongs in the shop, they aren't used much.

Are you looking to get rid of that Pair Gene ? I would be interested since I missed out on the last ones.

Let me know.

Shane.

I have a couple flat jaw ones but use them when we have hammerins.

Thanks for your interest.
