Description

Tongs are a type of gripping tool with two arms joined at one end, often used for handling hot objects or substances in laboratory settings. They provide a safe and secure way to pick up, hold, and manipulate items without direct contact. Tongs are commonly made of metal, with insulated or heat-resistant handles to protect the user's hands from heat or chemicals. They are widely used in chemistry, biology, and other scientific disciplines for tasks such as holding flasks, beakers, crucibles, or test tubes over a flame, transferring hot or hazardous materials, and handling objects in sterile environments. Tongs come in various designs and sizes to accommodate different laboratory needs and applications.
