These 9-inch copper tongs offer safe, contamination-free handling for jewellery pickling and other acid bath processes.

What it does

Crafted from solid copper, these tongs prevent iron contamination that can ruin silver pieces during pickling. The broad, straight jaws feature a fine cross-hatch pattern for a secure hold on your work, while the outer arms are milled with serrations for improved grip and control. Their 9-inch length provides a safe working distance from aggressive chemical solutions.

How to use it

  • Set up your pickle pot and work area safely.
  • Grip items firmly with the cross-hatched jaws.
  • Rinse tongs thoroughly after each use.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths cleaning soldered work. Replace your steel tweezers in acid baths to avoid costly copper plating errors. Ideal for professionals and serious hobbyists working with flux and oxidation removal.

Edward H. ★★★★★

Finally, a pair of tongs that doesn't leave rust spots in my pickle pot. The solid copper build feels sturdy and the 9-inch length keeps my hands well away from the acid. No more worrying about iron contamination ruining my batch.

David D. ★★★★★

The 9-inch length is perfect for reaching deep into my pickle pot without my fingers getting anywhere near the acid, and the solid copper construction gives me peace of mind about iron contamination. Handled a full day of jewelry work and the grip stayed firm, no slipping even when the tongs were we

Evelyn ★★★★★

Finally found tongs that don't transfer rust or scale into my pickle pot—the solid copper tips stay clean even after repeated dips. The 9-inch length keeps my hand well clear of the acid steam, which makes the whole process feel way safer.
