- Carrying and pressing the hot shoe during fitting
Jim Blurton Hot Fit Tongs are designed for carrying the hot shoe from the forge to the foot safely and securely. The jaws hold the shoe firmly so it can be presented to the foot exactly where it is wanted. The key advantage of a dedicated hot fitting tong is the ability to apply even pressure across the shoe during the fit, giving a clear, uniform burn mark and an accurate read of the fit. A staple of the Jim Blurton tool range, made to the standard the name is known for.
