The first materail i want to talk about is obviously mild steel, its the most populor materail for making tongs out of, it is cheap and very easy to move. Mild steel is reasonable strong, but mild steel tongs heat up quick so they need constant quenching so that it doesnt get hot and mishape the tongs quickly.
An example of Mild steel tongs
The main thing that these mild steel tongs have for them is this abiltiy to be reshaped so that they can be set easily to hold different sections of bar that they werent made for.
I have made many sets of mild steel tongs and i enjoying making them and using, i have limited exerpeince with making tongs from other materails.
