Securely grip and pour molten metals with these 14-inch crucible tongs, designed for precision casting at the jeweller's bench.

What it does

These tongs offer a reliable hold on square-dish crucibles, crucial for controlled pouring of molten silver, gold, or brass. The robust steel jaws are precisely engineered to engage the dish securely, while the 35.5 cm length maintains a safe working distance from intense heat. A smooth, turned wooden handle ensures comfort and insulation, allowing for confident manipulation during critical casting phases.

How to use it

  • Position tongs to grasp crucible dish firmly.
  • Carefully lift and pour molten metal into mould.
  • Clean jaws after use for longevity.

Who it's for

Essential for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and dedicated hobbyists engaged in lost-wax casting or small-scale metal pouring. This tool replaces precarious handling, offering dependable control for melting and casting precious and base metals, from first projects to professional production.

Emily R. ★★★★★

The wooden handle gives me a much better grip than my old all-metal tongs, and the square dish holder fits my crucible perfectly without wobbling. I've been using it for small silver pours and it feels solid and secure every time.

Andrew ★★★★★

Finally a pair of tongs that doesn't make me nervous when the crucible is full of hot metal—the square dish holder locks in place perfectly every time. The 35.5 cm length keeps my hands at a safe distance, and the wooden handle stays comfortable even after a long casting session.

Penelope A. ★★★★★

The wooden handle gives me a solid, comfortable grip even when I’m pouring near the flame, and the 35.5 cm length keeps my hands well clear of the heat. Swapping between my square crucibles feels almost effortless, and the black metal finish has held up through a dozen pours without a wobble.
