What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 1, 2026
This is a replacement tong tool with an F-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 marks and symbols on swell paper or similar tactile graphics media, allowing teachers or vision specialists to produce tactile diagrams and illustrations for students who are blind or have low vision. This is a single replacement component — it does nothing on its own without the full Tactile Graphics Kit and appropriate media. If your current tong tool has worn out or been lost, this is the correct replacement, but confirm the F-point symbol tip is the style your kit uses before ordering, as APH offers multiple tip configurations.
