Design and Comfort

• "Itty bitty. I’m not sure who likes cooking utensils this short but they are tiny."
• "Wish the metal was slightly heavier gauge."
• "The only thing about these tongs I didn't like so much is the lock feature."
• "It’s impossible to clean out because it’s the spring mechanism on the interior."
• "The pull lock on the small one is not durable and suddenly broke after a couple of times of use."

Value for Money

• "Price was very reasonable. Hopefully, they will last several years."
• "$10 (at the time) well spent! Happy so far."
• "Great quality and price."

Cons:

• "I was quite happy with them until I had a hot char fire going and needed to use these bad boys for dogs and italian sausage duty."
• "You do have to watch for how hot the metal gets when you're using the grill."
• "Also because every time you squeeze them shut to grab food, the lock feature triggers and you have to unlock them to drop the food."
• "I didn’t really need the baby size one, but I’m sure I can use them for something!"
• "The lock feature doesn’t function properly on the larger tongs. I have to pull them apart constantly to open."
• "They slipped a lot and I even dropped a chicken leg once."
• "The smaller tong seems flimsy. the little plastic ring on the base of tong can easily pop out."
