"Love" Handles??
« 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.

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...
