Tongs

Tongs are commonly used for picking up items which are otherwise dangerous or undesirable to pick up with one's hands, as is common in a smithy. When caught unarmed, they can be used as an effective makeshift weapon.

Trivia

 * Tongs are absolutely essential in Martian Dreams to handle Radium, since holding the highly-radioactive metal in bare hands is a huge health hazard. They do not, however, function as a useable weapon in the Worlds of Ultima installment.
 * A pair of tongs have a damage of 6 and a reach of 3.
