Laboratory tongs are large pincers for grasping and lifting vessels of heat-resistant material used in high temperature chemical reactions. They can be used to hold or pick up many items, but work best as tongs for picking up a hot evaporating dish. Crucible tongs are welded steel tools used to lift a hot crucible from a furnace or for other items you may not want to handle with your hands. Crucible tongs may also be used to prevent any inaccuracies regarding mass measurements as any moisture or oil will affect the readings and accuracy.
Beaker tongs are best used to hold a hot beaker.
