A crucible holder does one job: keep your crucible steady and positioned exactly where you need it while you pour molten metal. This WHIP-style holder does that job with a lot less bulk than traditional crucible tongs.
Made from stainless steel, the spring action holds the crucible with steady tension so it doesn't slip mid-pour, and because the crucible sits close to the end of the arm, you can get right up next to your mould rather than pouring from a distance. It's also noticeably lighter in the hand than a longer-handled holder.
Invented by master jeweller Jay Whaley, this large WHIP holder fits our Large crucible (77mm diameter) and our Extra Large crucible (96mm diameter).
We also stock a Small WHIP Crucible Holder for smaller crucibles, and this large holder is available bundled as part of our Large Crucible Set with WHIP Holder if you need the crucibles as well.
