Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Will these tongs hold a standard railroad spike? A: The jaws are shaped around the spike head so a typical RR spike sits clamped and stable. Check your spike dimensions before ordering if it is a nonstandard size.

Q: Can these be used with a power hammer or press? A: They are intended for hand-held forge work at the anvil. For power hammer work, confirm the tongs and your grip method suit the force involved.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
