Amazon.com Review

Perfect for snagging a steak, chicken breast, or slippery cob of corn, this tool helps the grilling enthusiast get a grip on the grill. With its stainless steel construction, these tongs are extra sturdy. The oversize, cushioned grips are nonslip, wet or dry, and remain cool to the touch even if the tongs are left a tad too close to the grill. The extended length of the tongs keep hands safely away from heat, and a large handle opening makes hanging storage easy. Like all Good Grips products, this one is dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

1.0 out of 5 stars Too hard to grip, July 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Barbecue Tongs (Kitchen)

These tongs cannot get a good grip because there is not enough leverage. The first (and last) time I used them once I dropped my food all over the place.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor engineering, August 20, 2005

I was disappointed with these tongs, which was surprising since OXO makes good kitchen utensils. I agree with other reviewers, it is difficult to grasp and close them. Unless you have a rather large hand (which I don't), you're forced to grasp the handle so far down near the stainless steel! When comparing these to my 12" tongs my hand grasp was at the same point - which really made these 16" tongs no different from the 12" ones.

2.0 out of 5 stars just the pointed ends..., April 24, 2001

the tongs where hard to grip..so what I did to avoid sending them back.I took a pair of very small plyers and bent just the pointed ends inward..like a claw. Now they are excellent.grip great. love the long handle...and heavy duty soft rubber.hope this helps those of you like me who hate sending stuff back.
