For bench jewellers cleaning soldered work, preventing pickle contamination is critical. These UK-stocked, 9-inch copper tongs allow safe handling in acid solutions, stopping iron from leaching in and plating your silver pieces with copper, a problem common when using steel tweezers.
Key features
- Solid copper construction prevents contamination of acid pickle solutions.
- Broad, rounded tips with a cross-hatched inner surface for a secure grip on work.
- Serrated finger grips milled onto the outer arms for improved handling and control.
- Overall length of 9 inches (228mm) provides safe reach into pickle pots.
- Straight-arm design for direct retrieval of items from baths and solutions.
Who it's for
An essential bench tool for UK jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths who use acid-based pickle to clean flux and oxidation from soldered work. Also suitable for any workshop process requiring non-ferrous tongs for handling items in acid solutions.

Is this the right tool for you?
Best for
- UK bench jewellers cleaning soldered silver work in acid pickle
- Silversmiths and metalsmiths requiring non-ferrous tools for acid solutions
- Workshops needing safe handling of items in corrosive chemical baths
Not for
- Gripping items requiring high tensile strength — copper is softer than steel
- Handling items in high-temperature applications — copper has a lower melting point than steel
- General workshop tasks where ferrous contamination is not a concern
