Jim Blurton Snake Eye Tong
Jim Blurton Snake Eye Tong based on the original fire tong design. Improved grip, same durability.
The snake eye tong's jaws lock through the nail holes for a positive grip on the shoe during forging. Seat both pins fully before heating, and check the grip after each return to the fire.
