I also bought a set to try out. I've had the good fortune to have some kids
interested in blacksmithing (my own and some friends) and have found the
clips to be a big help in holding onto the work in progress.

I, too, bought a set. I've not used tong rings before and thought to try these
out before forming an opinion. I find them to be quite handy, especially on
those tongs where the reins have some spring to them. I think the person
selling them will be at the ABANA conference at Alfred.
