Blacksmith tongs hold your glowing workpiece firmly in place while you shape it on the anvil. In our range of forging tools you'll find blacksmith tongs in various jaw types and lengths, so you always have the right grip for every profile. That way you can get hold of any workpiece and be ready for the first hammer blow.

Blacksmith tongs with different jaw types

Blacksmith tongs come in various jaw types, each made for material with a different profile. The jaw type determines how firmly you hold round, square, or flat work while forging. You'll find these jaw types from both Gedore and our own brand. Below you can see which ones are in our range.

Round-jaw tongs

Round-jaw tongs are made for round material, such as bars and pins. You'll find round-jaw tongs from both Gedore and our own brand.

Flat-jaw tongs

Flat-jaw tongs grip flat and thin work, such as sheet metal and strip steel. Besides the straight version, we carry angled flat-jaw tongs for work around corners.

Wolf-jaw tongs

Wolf-jaw tongs grip round, square, and flat material, making them the most versatile jaw type in the range. You'll find wolf-jaw tongs in several lengths.

U-jaw tongs

With its U-shaped jaw, U-jaw tongs give extra grip on square and round material, even during heavy work. U-jaw tongs are also available in several lengths.

Blacksmith tongs in different lengths

Blacksmith tongs in our range vary in length between 500 and 700 mm. The length determines how much distance you keep from the fire and how much control you have over your workpiece.

Longer tongs keep your hands further from the heat and give more leverage during heavy work on the anvils in your workshop. Shorter tongs steer more precisely, which works nicely for small and fine work.

Not sure about the size? A mid-range size around 600 mm is a versatile first choice that suits most jobs.

Frequently asked questions

What material is a blacksmith's tongs made of?

A blacksmith's tongs are made of steel, so they can handle the heat and the blows of forging. The steel is tough enough not to deform when you apply force to it, and it withstands the temperatures near the fire. Choose tongs with a sturdy rivet for a smooth hinge.

Can you also buy blacksmith tongs as a set?

Yes, you can also buy forging tongs as a set. In our range you'll find a blacksmith tongs bundle which lets you get several jaw types at once. That's handy if you're just starting out and don't yet know which shape of material you'll be forging most often. This way you immediately cover the most commonly used grips.

Do you need a locking ring for your blacksmith tongs?

A tong clip isn't a must-have, but it does make working with your blacksmith tongs safer. The clip slides over the reins of the tongs and holds the jaws shut, so your workpiece doesn't slip out while you're hammering. Especially during longer sessions on a single piece, this keeps your hands free.

How many forging tongs do you need?

For most beginner blacksmiths, one versatile pair of blacksmith tongs is enough to get started. Wolf-jaw tongs work with all three profiles, so they'll take you a long way. If you start working more specifically with certain profiles, you can expand your collection of blacksmith tongs with flat-jaw or round-jaw tongs.
