Overview
Built for handling large stone, these tongs are suited to moving boulders and setting rock retaining walls where a secure grip matters. They accommodate rocks up to 36 inches and a 3,000 lb. capacity, with 12" x 7" jaws and hardened teeth designed to hold firmly. A heavy-duty loop makes chain hookup straightforward, while the powder-coat finish helps resist rust and corrosion.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Sized for rocks and boulders up to 36" and 3,000 lbs, so it is intended for substantial material handling rather than smaller, lighter stones.
- The 12" x 7" jaws use hardened teeth for a secure hold, but that also means the contact points are designed for grip rather than gentle handling of finished stone surfaces.
- A chain hook-up is part of the design, so use depends on having compatible lifting equipment and a suitable rigging setup.
- The powder-coat finish is described as helping resist rust and corrosion, but it is still a finish layer and not a substitute for regular care and inspection.
