"For my crucible, its a little tricky to hold with these."

"These are priced right and well made."
"Failed on first melt, system wasn't even at 1800F and the tongs deformed enough to where they couldn't hold the crucible."
"These don't grip enough to pull a crucible out of a smelter."
"Was being used to lift out clay crucible from the fire; broke within 2 weeks of purchase (probably was used probably 15-20 times)."
Preheat the tong before use, in case the tip of the tong cracks for the spot cooling.
