Pickle Pot Tongs — Copper Tweezers, Curved Bent Tip, Ribbed Body, 8-1/2 Inch

For lifting work in and out of the pickle pot after soldering. Because these tweezers are solid copper, they will not contaminate an acid pickle the way steel tools do — steel in the bath is how silver work ends up flashed with unwanted copper plating. New to acid cleaning? Our pickle bath setup guide covers safe workshop practice.

At 8.5 inches (approx. 216mm) they reach the bottom of a deep pot with your fingers well clear, and the curved tips take a positive hold on rings and other rounded pieces. Longitudinal ribs pressed into the body stiffen the arms for better control, and the two-piece riveted construction stands up to daily bench use. Rinse and dry them after each session.

• Solid copper construction prevents the contamination of acid pickle solutions.
• The 8.5-inch (216mm) length allows for safe access into deep pickle pots.
• Curved tips provide a secure grip for retrieving rings and other curved items.
• Longitudinal ribs pressed into the body add rigidity and control.
• Two-piece riveted construction ensures a durable, long-lasting bench tool.
