RR Spike Tongs

Big brother or little brother makes no difference when talking about these tongs. Awesome quality and price. Buy them, get em' hot, hammer them into submission to the way you desire, simple rivet, and "Presto"....they become what you need. They need to be functional for you beyond anything else...and you can make them as pretty as you want. These fit the bill!

I am a newbie. Instructions

I am a newbie. Instructions are very easy to use. I have a lot to learn in forging anything. But these pre-cut tongs have made it a little easier to get started. I struggled with my first pair. Drilling holes and setting the rivet and adjusting. I'll get the hang of it. Thank you!
