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.

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.

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.

Bought these for the BBQ (what else?). They are strong enough and easy to use, but they do not grip all that well. For example, I used them on ribs a LOT this summer, and I had to have the angle right or the ribs would frequently slide out from the grip of the tongs.

My father loves to bbq and he lost a good pair of his tongs. I looked on line and found this one and he loves it. He said that they were well made and sturdy enough to pick up a big slab of ribs with out any problems.

Tired of BBQ tongs that cant hold a steak? Cant pickup a slice of eggplant? Drop hot dogs? Do away with that stress. These tongs are able to handle the weight of a large steak as well as manueverable enough to flip thin slices of veggies. The coated handle NEVER gets hot and the overall shape is long enough to reach deep into a grill without scorching your hands. An instant favorite at our house.
