 After trying 5 different sets of Tongs....these are BAD August 11, 2005

I spent several months and 5 purchases trying to find a good set of tongs for my husband who is the pickiest "BBQ Expert"...These were one of the WORST. DO NOT BUY THEM. The locking mechanism is clunky. They do not open and close smoothly. The OXO 16 inch Tongs are much better and lighter. You do want tongs that have a hinge vs the ones that are permanently open waiting for you to squeeze them around what you are trying to pick up. Good luck. I had to send these back.

Took a chance... November 11, 2005

Well sometimes it pays to take a chance. After reading a negative review of these tongs I went ahead and bought them anyway...I do love Steven Raichlen's show and his books. Well, either I have a disagreement with the earlier review or they fixed 'em. These tongs work great, are very heavy duty for handling big slabs of meat like I like to cook, and the extra length keeps my hands cool without gloves. I vote 5 stars. Keep on BBQ'ing!

I was a little reluctant to purchase these because I had heard a lot of things about the spring mechanism in them being faulty but that they were being recalled and fixed. So I was wondering if the one I bought was a fixed model or not. Well, it must have the newer design because I've been using these for a few months and I have nothing but good things to say about them. I was previously using a long OXO set of tongs which were pretty good but a little flimsy for some of the heftier cuts of meat like, whole chickens and pork shoulders. These tongs are sturdy! You know that the minute you pick them up and feel the weight to them. They can easily pick up anything you need on the grill and, because of the 20 inch length, you can keep you hand at a safe distance from the actual fire. The handle has grooves for your fingers and thumbs which enhances the grip and they lock in a closed position for storage.
If you do any outdoor cooking, you will appreciate these tongs. They're a well thought out piece of equipment you'll use for years and be glad you purchased.

These tongs are great but I gave three stars because one of the plastic handles came off and I had spend time making a repair.
