Jim Blurton Snake Eye 3/8" Tongs are professional-grade fire tongs designed for farriers and blacksmiths to steadily hold horseshoes or steel during forging and shaping. They are built to maintain a firm lateral grip on metal stock whether it is hot or cold.
Key Features and Design: One-Piece Construction: Forged from a single piece of air-hardened S1 tool steel, these tongs are highly durable and easy to maintain even with rigorous daily use. Distinctive Snake Design: Based on the original Jim Blurton fire tong, this version features a unique reptilian "snake eye" or "snakehead" jaw profile. Ergonomic Handles: Manufactured with curved or smooth-round "reigns" and a 16-inch long handle to keep the user's hands safely away from hot steel. Precision Grip: The jaw design and riveted pivot ensure consistent alignment and a secure, stable hold for complex forging tasks
