These 9-inch copper tongs offer safe, contamination-free handling for jewellery pickling and other acid bath processes.

What it does

Crafted from solid copper, these tongs prevent iron contamination that can ruin silver pieces during pickling. The broad, straight jaws feature a fine cross-hatch pattern for a secure hold on your work, while the outer arms are milled with serrations for improved grip and control. Their 9-inch length provides a safe working distance from aggressive chemical solutions.

How to use it

  • Set up your pickle pot and work area safely.
  • Grip items firmly with the cross-hatched jaws.
  • Rinse tongs thoroughly after each use.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths cleaning soldered work. Replace your steel tweezers in acid baths to avoid costly copper plating errors. Ideal for professionals and serious hobbyists working with flux and oxidation removal.

Common questions at the bench

Why copper tongs rather than steel tweezers?
Steel in an acid pickle can leave a thin copper coating on silver work. Copper tongs avoid that, so use them for everything that goes into or comes out of the pickle, and keep steel tools and binding wire out of it.
How do I use them safely?
Wear eye protection and gloves, follow the safety instructions for your pickle, lower work in gently so it does not splash, and keep your hand well clear of the solution.
How should I look after them?
Rinse them in clean water after each session and dry them before you put them away, so pickle does not stay on them or drip onto the bench.
