1.0 out of 5 starsSticky & Slow Opening, Poor Pincer Design
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2019
Picture shows the difference in the pincer grip between the Hotec tongs (left) and manual tongs (right).
Pros
- Comes in a set of two lengths.
- Simple locking mechanism.
- Dishwasher safe.
Cons
- Larger tong was sticky when opening and would stop halfway.
- Pincer design leaves little to grab with.
- Weak opening mechanism led to the tongs opening slowly, especially the bigger tong.
I wanted to switch from manual tongs to locking ones to make storage easier. The weak grasp, poor pincer design, and sticky opening (especially on the larger tong) led me to return them.
