These tongs are awesome! They stay closed tightly, making it easy to store them without worrying about them scratching my pans. Finally, I can use tongs without any issues.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OXO is hands down my favorite brand of kitchen accessories. These tongs are durable and have washed well in the upper rack of my dishwasher. I expect that these tongs will last for years as all of my other products from this company have. The tongs appear to be just as durable as other products I have purchased/used from this company.
Excellent Quality Tongs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good Grips 12 inch Tongs have been so useful in my kitchen. They are so well made and smooth to use. I love how you can really grip onto even heavy food and they don't let me down. The 12 inch length is great for me to use to get things out of my air fryer without worrying about getting burned.
Absolutely LOVE THESE!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so pleased with these tongs! The nylon heads are great as to not scratch my pans, and the tongs themselves are sturdy and a decent weight to them (not heavy, just sturdy.) I love that they’re a little longer than my old one, so my hand isn’t half way in the pan when I’m trying to cook! Love them!
A Great Kitchen Tool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never knew there were so many uses for tongs! Now that we have a great quality pair that is easy to wash, we use them for everything! The length is great to reach into hot items without getting hurt.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These tongs are good quality and very long. Makes them great for reaching stuff at the back of the grill. The ends don’t melt easily. I know this because without thinking I used them to get a broken Pop tart out of a hot toaster.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tongs provide grat gripping ability, see the picture of the tongs picking up a toothpick. Too many others in the market don't meet at the tip. These are easy to operate and I don't worry about scratching my nonstick pans.
Works great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These tongs work great for cooking as well as protecting my non stick pans. I am able to use these to flip, grab, and move foods with out any worries of scratches. The nylon heads have held up very well to heavy use and the clean very easily. The handles are also long enough that I don't worry about getting burned.
Work well for all cooking needs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These tongs are a good size and sturdy. The tips are sturdy plastic versus silicone and I believe they work a lot better because of the material. Other tongs I've tried bend too much and it's hard to get a good grip on food items with the tips moving around, so the plastic tips are actually perfect. The end of the tongs have the standard push/pull mechanism to keep them closed up for storage which is convenient and they are the same size as other cooking spoons and spatulas I have which is perfect and they fit in my counter top holder easily or in my drawer totally fine without taking up much room. They have a good rubber grip for easy use as well. Definitely a high quality product!
Smaller than you think

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great all purpose tongs that you can do pretty much any kitchen job with. The length is just right to keep you away from the heat, but give you enough dexterity to control heavy things. The handles are all stainless which is easy to clean, and the nylon heads appear to be pretty durable as well. The one weird thing about these are the nylon heads are SUPER small. Like, half the size you would expect on a pair of tongs this size. It's not really a problem unless you are trying to scoop up a bunch of small things, but it's worth noting.
Works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These 12 inch tongs are fantastic! They are stylish in appearance with the silver handle and black tips. They are super durable, made from quality material. They have great grip strength and you can easily maneuver with ease even with a pretty hefty product. They seem to have a fairly high heat threshold as I was able to use them while frying egg rolls with no melting issues. I like that they have a locking mechanism so that they are easy to store without taking up a lot of space.
Great tongs!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the length of these tongs. I feel the longer they are the less you have a chance of getting hot oil splashed on you. Lol Great for tossing food over. They are comfortable to hold and the look matches my kitchen appliances.

The top handle/opening piece is all plastic and as such bends when you try to lock/unlock the tongs. Other versions (sold elsewhere) have this piece in metal, which works much better.

too wide open

The pictures show the tongs in a closed position. Mine without the lock measure 7 inches across at their widest at the tip when open, too wide to use comfortably and much too wide to put down easily on a small plate or spoon rest. Also, the metal is thin. Would never buy again. I have a lot of Oxo products and usually love them.
