What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 1, 2026
This is a replacement tong tool with an E-point symbol tip, sold as a spare part for APH's Tactile Graphics Kit (catalog #1-08851-00). The tong tool is used to create raised tactile markings on thermoform or swell paper graphics, allowing students and educators to add or modify tactile symbols on graphics used in braille literacy and tactile map instruction. It's a consumable/replacement component, not a standalone solution — you need the original Tactile Graphics Kit for this to be useful. At $13, it's a low-cost way to replace a worn or lost component without buying the full kit again.
