Selected User Reviews For QWORK Crucible Tongs, 14" Stainless Steel Professional Grade Crucible Kit
In a 750 degree Celsius furnace, these tongs did not melt or tarnish when used to remove crucibles at high temperatures. As well as removing crystals from molten bismuth, they are also effective at removing bismuth crystals.
In the past, I used pliers and cooking tongs for my IPA bath for resin printing, but the pliers tended to rust quickly and I had trouble squeezing the cooking tongs into the bath. It's perfect because it's far enough away from the hinge not to get rusted and thin enough so that it doesn't get cumbersome, and it's long and thin enough so that it doesn't obstruct anything.
A pair of these tongs can lift and hold crucibles up to 5 kilograms. probably lift one that has a full load of aluminum in it. I do not think they are thick enough to go beyond No full load of a #6 will be picked up at this location.
There is nothing I can complain about.
Designed for use on foundries.
There's only an eighth inch of thickness at the scissor joint, and it snapped soon after use.
