I have posted 5 pictures of RR spike tongs made from a nipper.
They are in an album named RR Spike tongs at the photoaccess site.
I hope the pictures explain better than I could.

Is it possible for somebody to post the tongs that
they have made, that would help visualize what people
are talking about.

Thanks,
