The Flatland Forge 5/16" Tongs (also commonly listed as Jim Poor Fire Tongs) are premium farrier tools designed for secure grip, parallel alignment, and stability when manipulating 5/16" flat bar stock or horseshoes.
Key Specifications & Features Premium Alloy Steel: Forged from heavy-duty 4140 alloy steel to withstand repeated heating and cooling cycles without losing jaw alignment. Deep Depression Jaws: Engineered with a deep, milled depression in the jaw heads that firmly traps and locks onto 5/16" steel stock to eliminate twisting or slippage. Optimal Leverage Length: Measures roughly 17 inches in length, providing excellent control while maintaining a safe working distance from the forge fire. Smooth Round Reins: Designed with lightweight, rounded handles that permit rapid, comfortable pivoting and minimize hand fatigue over long forging sessions. Heavy-Duty 3/8" Rivet: Features a pre-annealed 3/8" pivot rivet that allows the tongs to swing completely open with zero binding.
