Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Securely grip and manoeuvre hot crucibles for precise metal pouring with these essential casting and melting tongs.

What it does

These tongs provide a stable, controlled hold on your crucible during molten metal transfer. The steel ring jaw is precisely shaped to encircle the crucible body, preventing sideways sliver and ensuring a steady pour. A robust pivot joint enables smooth, consistent clamping, while the long steel shanks keep your hands a safe distance from intense heat. The red PVC-dipped handles offer a comfortable, non-slip grip, reducing thermal transfer for safer bench work.

How to use it

  • Position the ring jaw around the crucible base.
  • Gently clamp the handles to secure the crucible.
  • Clean handles after use to maintain grip.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths who regularly melt and pour non-ferrous metals. Ideal for those transitioning from basic pouring methods or requiring a reliable upgrade for small-scale foundry work. This replaces less stable gripping methods for a more controlled casting process.

Customer Reviews (5.0 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Stella ★★★★★

The jaws grip my crucible firmly with no wobble, which makes pouring molten silver way less nerve-wracking than my old pair. The PVC handles give me a solid hold even when my palms get sweaty near the furnace.

William Y. ★★★★★

The PVC handles stay cool enough to grab bare-handed, which I didn't expect at this price. The jaws grip my crucible tight with no slipping when I tilt to pour, even with a full load of melted silver.

Benjamin ★★★★★

Even though the crucible gets scorching, the PVC handles stay cool and comfortable to hold—makes pouring molten metal much safer.
