DOUBLE S TONG 8MM

I really like these tongs however they have some serious flaws that I can't ignore. Positives? -These things are truly lightweight, 425g vs Mustad's tongs which are 800g -Extremely comfortable for people with bigger hands -Easy to grab shoes from a propane forge -Reins don't over extend so it's easy to readjust your grip on them if you slip your grip on the other rein Negatives? -Can't make contact with 2 parts of the shoe, big deal breaker for me personally -Heat up noticeably quicker then traditional tongs -The silver part of the handle is aluminum not titanium, I'm not very sure of how these would perform doing borium on shoes with them.
