Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Securely grip and manoeuvre hot casting flasks from kiln to machine with these robust 15-inch tongs. This essential tool provides essential reach and a stable hold for critical pouring stages.

What it does

These tongs are engineered for the demanding task of transferring heat-treated investment flasks. Their precisely curved jaws are designed to firmly embrace crucibles and flasks up to 10cm in diameter, ensuring a stable connection. The inward-facing tips grip the flask flange securely, preventing unwanted rotation and promoting a controlled pour. Constructed from a single piece of steel, they offer inherent strength and reliable spring action for consistent performance.

How to use it

  • Position tongs around the hot flask or crucible.
  • Grip firmly to secure the object.
  • Transfer with steady, controlled movement.

Who it's for

An indispensable aid for UK-based jewellers, silversmiths, and small-scale casters working with lost-wax casting. These tongs are also suitable for dental technicians and artisans using centrifugal or vacuum casting machines. They replace awkward handling methods, streamlining the transfer process for intermediate to professional bench users.

Lily F. ★★★★★

The grip on these tongs is solid enough that I can carry a full crucible without any wobble, even when it's glowing red. The 15-inch reach keeps my hands a safe distance from the kiln, which makes the whole pouring process feel much less nerve-wracking.

Madison ★★★★★

The 15-inch length gives me plenty of room to keep my hands safely away from the kiln while handling hot flasks. It grips the crucibles firmly without slipping, which makes pouring a lot less stressful.

Eli K. ★★★★★

The hinge moves smoothly right out of the box, and the 15-inch reach keeps my hands well clear of the kiln’s heat while I’m positioning a full flask. It grips the 10 cm crucible firmly without any wobble, even during a careful pour.
