Mustad Forging Tongs

Mustad Forging Tongs are available in five models, each matched to specific bar section sizes for a secure, controlled grip during hot-shoe work at the forge. The 6mm tong is calibrated for the lighter sections used in racing and sliding shoes. The 8mm and 10mm models are suited to the common bar dimensions of standard riding shoes. Additional models cover larger bar sections for heavier shoes and draught horse work. Well-made forging tongs are an essential safety and quality tool in hot shoeing: a tong that fits the bar correctly prevents the shoe from slipping during shaping work and gives the farrier full control over the movement of the hot steel. Part of the Mustad professional tool range, manufactured to reliable quality standards.

Mustad Forging Tongs are available in five models. Four of these exactly fit to the bar density of the material. The 6mm forging tong is mostly used for racing and sliding horseshoes. The 8mm and 10mm tongs are fitting to the common riding shoes of their according dimensions. The 12mm type is mostly used for heavy draft shoes. These forgings tongs are also very popular in competitions, because their extreme heat resistant material allows a long term exertion of power when forging with higher temperatures. The fifth model, the Universal forging tong, is used for materials of different densities.
