Design & Functionality

• "Great to have 3 sizes which are greatly needed depending on the use."

Cons:

• "These bent immediately and the tips were no longer clear enough to hold items."
• "Also, the spring mechanism is very tight and it’s hard to hold the tongue clothes for an extended period of time to maintain, which turns out to be poor grip with the rubber ends."
• "The locking feature at the end is nice, but the spring mechanism is very tight and it’s hard to hold the tongs closed for an extended period of time."
• "The silicone grip section bends too easily."
• "The clicking noise when you open and close them is indicative of a poorly fit spring which will jump out very soon."
