Choice 7" Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Utility Tongs

Honestly I like these style of tongs and this particular pair but I do know that the locking mechanism will eventually get in the way more than it's worth. Also if you look at the way the pin is stuck through the two halves then you know it isn't the most durable way to do it. The name brand pairs (like Vollrath) where it looks two rounder, flatter rivets on both ends is fair more durable. I can only give it 4 stars for that reason. Still a decent pair for the price.

Decent inexpensive option. The rivot that holds the crux of the tongs together will pop over time. Be warned.

Way small and cheaply made. Might work for olives.

This works great for serving chicken pieces at my daughter's bridal shower. It's great to have a few extra now for holidays and parties.

We've purchased a lot of these. It's annoying when the little wire thingy comes off and you can't hold then together with it. The wire things make packing them easier and also helps stop them from sliding into the chafing dish on a buffet. And as other reviews have stated the rivet at the pivot point will back out on a lot of these after significant use. I can get over the rivet, but the wire coming off is an issue for us.

I removed the sliding clamp.

These are nice to be able to lock the ends together to prevent them from getting caught in a closed drawer. Easy to use, clean, and store.

good quality and price point. functions perfectly for our needs. bulk pricing is great. ships quickly arrived in good condition.

I have replaced several older tongs with these. They are durable and solid.

Great small tongs for the line or needing to grab smaller hot items. Really like them.

Great, versatile tools for any busy kitchen. They are sturdy and withstand heavy daily use. The stainless steel is ideal for commercial kitchens. Easy to clean. Fast shipping.

Nice strong grip and like the slide lock!

Good quality 16" tongs. Great for getting almost anything out of the fryer.

nice, but its kind of hard to grab stuff. For us its too heavy also.

These tongs are very useful in the kitchen. I like the long length of the handles it makes pulling things out of the fryer easier.

These are GREAT tongs, they have some weight to them, so they stand up to a lot of typical kitchen abuse. Do yourself a favor and buy THESE for a little bit more than the cheaper ones. These are way better than the cheaper alternative.
