Its handy!

Teeth need to point upwards more. Other than that, the tongs should work well.

[@Thehomesteader]

Well we will test them out as is and modify as required!...stay tuned

[@Thehomesteader]

You are right! As seen in my newest video I had to change the angle of the teeth. I appreciate your comments and they were well founded!

@Thehomesteader Ill have to watch your newest video. I have 2 sets of CM tongs some 16's & 32's, they are regarded as the only good quality US tong makers left and after using them for awhile you start to understand the mechanics behind how they work. Sounds like you got it figured out as well, best regards.

That teeth will not work well.. I think you need to cut only one angle on the tooth , with the "high spot" tip of the angle, up to the center of the tongs,, Then sharpened it with a file..

Thanks…I’ll post how it works and any changes if needed.

[@Thehomesteader]

I did have to adjust them to work better. See my new video. Thanks again for your help!
