FFF Blacksmith RR Spike Head Tongs - Made in the USA from New 5160

Description

These are my New RR Head Tongs
Made from new 5160 stock 18-inches long. This particular style of tong grips the Head of the Rail Road spike by putting forward pressure on the back to the head with the Flat section and holding the edges of the head in place with the two "Legs" of the tongs!
It works extremely well and has a very tight grip!
All of my 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 my 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 Custom FFF mix to provide a near perfect rust free finish. (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.
