These are the Fiery Furnace 1/4" Bolt Tongs
These tongs are made from new 5160 stock, they are 18-inches long, and adjusted to hold 1/4-inch round and square bar.
These tongs are light, very strong, and grip tightly. They are made right here in south central KY, USA!
All of our 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.
The overall length of these tongs is 18 inches, and the reigns are a rounded rectangular profile making them comfortable and not too bulky.
All of my tongs are forged to finish, cleaned in a vibratory tumbler, and finished with a dry linseed oil/turpentine mix, rust inhibitor. (Not a greasy or oily finish.)
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.
