What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 1, 2026
This is a replacement tong tool with C-point symbol tip, designed for use within APH's Tactile Graphics Kit system. The C-point tip creates specific tactile marks on thermoform or swell paper, allowing teachers and braille specialists to produce raised-line graphics that students with visual impairments can read by touch. It's a spare part, not a standalone product — you need the parent Tactile Graphics Kit (catalog #1-08851-00) for this to be useful. At this price point it's essentially a consumable replacement, but losing or breaking the original tong tool would otherwise make the full kit non-functional.
