Title: "Love" Handles??
Post by: dimwittedmoose51 on April 07, 2014, 11:37:42 AM

]Neighbor gave me these pliers/tongs and I'm guessing they were some sort of holding tool for a blacksmith??  I've been wrong before , so I seek the collective wisdom of the forum

TIA folks.

I thought I was the only one having problems posting images - I put that down to being on a little island in another continent, and the time taking to squeeze all those Gb up the electric string.....

Folks- I can't do anything at all about the picture posting difficulties. All I can suggest is that you use a picture hosting service and use the urls provided for posting.

They are to be used on pump rods

Very similar are found as smiths tongs for holding round bar, but they do not have a double bitted mouth - I'd agree some sort of non-adjustable pipe tongs, like the UK Footprint brand (which are adjustable) - pump rod pliers sounds good... modern water pump pliers are similar in general shape...
