tongs

[McAlpin Blades]

I bought a set of 18" forged tongs from E bay tonight for $8.50. Man this has got to be better than using vice grips! Cory

That's great. I've not been able to find an old set of tongs anywhere around town. I ended up making this set out of an old lawn mower blade. I've made two other sets that are shaped and grinded to hold railroad spikes. Thanks -chris

They look good Chris..Try first Monday,I have bought several pairs of tongs there.
You guys need to start watching for estate sales or sales where they are clearing out old buildings that has tools from years ago in them and you will find tome old tongs.
You can buy new ones at the local co-op store or from Centaur forge
