4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Car Camping, November 9, 2010

This is a great set of tongs ideal for car camping. It is lightweight, and folds compactly to store easily. It makes it possible to put wood on a hot campfire or fire in a fire pit, or to move logs in a hot fire around.

I would not particularly recommend it for use in a home fireplace, as there are much better sturdier tongs available. The curved ends of this tong are best suited for certain size logs, which make it more difficult to use at home than standard sturdy non folding fireplace tongs.

But for a simple, lightweight, folding, compact fireplace tongs for car camping, where it's compactness and light weight are an advantage, it's great.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only fireplace tool you will ever need, November 23, 2010

This is the only tool I ever use while playing with fire. I bought 3! I have one for the fireplace in the house, one for the fire pit in the yard, and one in the camper for campfires. It will easily hold a large chunk of wood to help you re-arrange or rebuild the fire. It will also delicately hold small coals.

These are very well built.

A great old fashioned simple fire log turner. A neat suprise is that it "collapses" down. You pull the handles out like you're trying to open and it "smashes" down horizontally - the handles come down to meet the part that touches the log and the "knees" spread outwards. I liked it because it made storage nice. It works just great. Not the most heavy duty item but works great for turning logs on a fire.
