These low-cost tongs are used to handle small radioactive or otherwise dangerous objects. The compression spring maintains a strong grip on the object until the tension is released by squeezing the finger bar. Chrome-plated, high carbon steel with hardwood handles, the “tongs” are easily disassembled for decontamination and cleaning.

Niptongs can hold objects up to 1” diameter and have 45° V-cut grooves on each jaw.
