About Us In 1968, Al Steadman a Union Sheet Metal Worker had an idea of adding a curve to the straight tongs he used every day in his job. His tongs quickly became popular due to the size, balance, and comfort. Through word of mouth, Local Unions and Distributors, Al was on his way to a large demand for tongs. Tongs were sold in Pennsylvania, Western New York, and Eastern Ohio. Al made his tongs in his workshop at his home, using tools and simple machines that he made to manufacture them quicker and more accurately. In 1986, Al passed his business down to his son Curtis Steadman. Curt pressed on in his father’s footsteps trying to work his job and manufacture enough tongs to supply the demand. Eventually he stopped making the tongs and Steadman Tongs grew steadily harder to find. As a Tradesman myself I knew this was a quality tool and wanted to see them returned into hands of Tradesmen and Women in the Sheetmetal Industry.
Steadman Tongs are made in Erie, Pa. STEADMAN TONGS are a sign of quality and tradition. Made with Pride, In the USA. |
