CANALHOUT 6kg Crucible Tongs Set for Melting Metal, Lifting Tongs + Pouring Tongs + 2 Graphite Crucibles, for Melting Aluminum Copper Gold Silver Jewelry Casting Tools

Great quality

Tool 1 is a lifting tong which greatly eases lifting the crucible from the furnace. The tongs are strong enough but definitely not overbuilt. I purchased the model for the #10 crucible. This tool allows for safe lifting where trying to lift crucibles with tongs is definitely hazardous. Dropping 20 pounds of crucible/molten brass would be a disaster.Tool 2 is a tong for pouring brass out of the crucible into molds. So far I have not used this as I have a much more robust tool I made. I think the design and build of the tool would be OK for small crucibles (smaller than #10) but iffy for the #10 or larger.

I'll keep it short and sweet. I've been casting a couple years now and finally decided to get better tongs. Gotta say these make it easy and safer to handle crucibles. From pulling from the furnace to pouring. Added bonus was them including 2 crucibles. Haven't tried those yet, but 5 stars for the tongs.

They work really well. Good quality and durable

I haven't used it in a furnace yet but it is just what I was looking for.

Works how it’s supposed to.

Very heavy duty product! Safe secure feel while pouring! Love them!
