Tongs are great! They set on fire the first time but other than that I haven't had a problem with them. The crucible isn't as great as other clay graphite crucibles. It's a good crucible, but the glaze tends to ball up instead of smooth out. This isn't really an issue but it is messy and the metal sticks to the crucible a lot more when it solidifies.
So far its surviving our novice attempts at melting aluminum and its impressively durable!
Looks good haven't used it yet. It seems nice and sturdy will help with my pouring
The quality is excellent. Top notch, and it was much larger than I expected!
They work. The graphite is chippy, but they all are

Very high quality items. Unfortunately, they were the wrong size for my stove, so I had to return them.
I with the tongs were a bit more formed to grab the crucible.
I bought this for my son that is melting pop cans in a youtube built kiln. It seems to work great He said that you need to warm it up slower. but does a great job.
