90 Degree Scroll Tongs | Hand Forged Blacksmith Tools

Introducing the 90 Degree Scroll Tongs! The 90 degree jaws are really useful when working in a tight spot. This hand forged blacksmith tool is designed with a gap in the reins so they can easily be used with only one hand, leaving your other hand free to run a torch, another set of tongs, or whatever you might need them for. Made with 3/4” sucker rod, you won’t need to worry about them wearing out!

Hi, I'm Jayce, the blacksmith behind Farmstead Forge. I am a farrier by trade; I learned the basics of blacksmithing at shoeing school and the rest I learned on my own. I'm excited to expand my knowledge and continue learning while also sharing my passion with others.

Join me in the shop on my Montana farmstead where I enjoy building tools and other fun projects that we can use around the place.
