Spent $60 on a new style of tongs and they're a total game changer for my scroll work

I was getting really tired of my old flat bit tongs slipping on small round stock, so I grabbed a pair of wolf jaw tongs from a local supplier. They grip the stock so much better that I can actually focus on the twist instead of fighting the piece. Has anyone else switched to a different style of tong and had it make a huge difference?

Yeah, wolf jaws are great for that. I had a teacher who swore by using a lighter pair of tongs for scrolls, said the weight of the tool itself can throw off your rhythm.

But does a few ounces really make that big of a difference? Seems like overthinking it.
