but why is it called Hammer & Tongs?

"to go at it Hammer & Tongs…"

means

"to literally or figuratively fight with all one's resources, with no holds barred, with might and main..."

The blacksmith has become a rarity & a curiosity, but this 17th century expression alluding to his art lives on. It refers of course to the brawny smitty taking
red hot metal from the forge with his long long handled pincers, or tongs, and vigorously beating into shape on the anvil with his hammer.
