M1 tongs 40 inch
The M1 Tongs, measuring 40 inches in length, are expertly designed for humane and effective snake handling, modeled after the popular Gentle Giant Tongs but with a narrower plate to access tight spaces. These flat plates allow you to safely retrieve snakes from confined areas such as filing cabinets, refrigerators, and narrow gaps where snakes often hide. Constructed from durable aircraft-grade aluminum to meet Midwest Tongs’ high standards, these tools promise longevity and reliability in the field. The triple rubber-coated top jaw creates friction on the snake’s body for a secure grip, while the polished lower jaw minimizes the snake's forward movement to prevent injury. Equipped with a concealed stainless steel cable and spring within blue aircraft-grade aluminum tubing, the design ensures strength without compromising control. Unlike modified, less specialized tongs that risk causing harm, the M1 Tongs have been evaluated and approved by two Animal Ethics Committees as a safe and responsible method for snake control, making them an essential addition to any professional or enthusiast’s toolkit.
