Charles Ellicott Commentary Exodus 25:38

"And the snuffers thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold." — Exodus 25:38 (ASV)

Tongs ... snuffdishes. — “Tongs,” or pincers, were required for trimming the wicks of the lamps, and removing loose portions; “snuffdishes” for receiving the fragments thus removed.
