Colonial gunsmiths used long-handled tongs primarily to handle hot metal safely during the forging and shaping process.

Additionally, the long handles provided better leverage and control for precise work, essential for crafting firearms and components. Overall, tongs were a crucial tool in ensuring both safety and accuracy in gunsmithing.
