Very sturdy & stainless long tongs for the grill. The light is a bit dim, but a great idea nonetheless.

The tongs work great for my needs. I have a cabin in the woods with no power, so dinnertime on the grill is a challenge. This helps so the extra hand (that I don't have...) doesn't have to hold the flashlight. The only thing I would change, is the tong itself is too big. I really can't imagine the need for THAT big of tongs. Maybe necessary if you have a side of beef or for commercial use, but I wish they were smaller. Cheers!

The tongs seem to be well made and the LED light works well. The only negative is that if you place your grip too high on the tongs they will pinch your hand. I have to remember to adjust my grip. Also the instructions don't mention that the light can't get wet. So you have to remove the light before washing or the internal electronics will start to corrode.

I really wish I had read the other person's review before purchasing these. The exact same thing happened with mine. I bought these for my husband for Father's Day & they just arrived in the mail and do not look brand new. The packaging is dented & tattered and the actual product (where the packaging doesn't cover it) is dirty & scratched. I had no idea that I could purchase a product labeled "brand new" and have it arrive at my house looking used. I most likely will not be giving this as a gift because it would be embarrassing, so it was a waste of money and now I don't have a gift.

I got this as a gift for my dad, and while the shipping was on time and I got the proper product, the packaging was not suitable for giving this item as a gift. The box in which these tongs arrived (the actual product box, not the cardboard shipping box) was all dented and had weird stickers on it (I am assuming for some sort of inventory purposes from whatever warehouse this came). Anyway, my dad isn't one to care about that sort of thing, but if I were to have given this to anyone else, I would have been embarrassed. Neat product though. Very handy.
