I have lived so long without these ….
A great buy! It’s not often I buy something and feel like it’s perfect. These are. One thing others probably won’t mention is that if you have it open, and one hand holding something, but want to set the tongs down in a closed position, the little slider on the end is very considerately coated in rubber/plastic so it’s easy to just use your teeth to pull it! They aren’t big, but big enough, non-scratch, and they save an awful lot of wrestling around with a spatula and fork, spilling stuff onto the stove top. They work like fingers. Frying squash, just picking each one to flip is so much easier than trying to work a spatula under it and keep it from rolling off. It is also very handy for butter without getting fingers buttered, and for other fried food. From the photos, I thought they might be flimsy, but they’re very well-made, just right, and wash easily. Very happy with them!

Perfect tongs
These are the perfect tongs. I use them when grilling meat, and the plastic ends must be heat resistant and they slide very well on the stainless grill and have never melted. I haven’t used the silicone end version of these as I don’t have a need for those…just mentioning them as you can pick which set you need. The 9 inch version are the all purpose size.

Solid tongs!
They’re classic tongs! Nice value (thick and sturdy), work great for cooking/dishing, and the locking mechanism is great as well. They’re a bit smaller than I had originally thought but they work great otherwise!

OXO is always the best
There is a reason OXO kitchen gadgets win all the real product review tests. Not just well made, but relentlessly well designed. The company is irrefutable proof that R&D and rigid quality control pay off. I rarely buy another brand anymore, and these tongs confirm the bias. Accidentally melted the last one and had to replace it. Just enough resistance to the spring, strong metal-supported plastic tips, and lighter than any other I’ve found. Only possible negative I can think of is there are some cracks between the pieces that require a little extra fuss to clean, but it took years to develop. It’s also the little attention to details, like the ring to hang it on a hook has a rubber pad so you can bump it just about anywhere to unlock. Buy without hesitation, everything else is “not Scottish”.

Small head on tongs, expected broader pickup use.
Nice tongs but they have a small head for picking up food items. Easy locking mechanism but not good for taking large pieces out of a hot pan.

Get this one: comparison with Oxo SoftWorks
I’ve had the 9-in version of this used daily for over a decade, at it’s still good as new, minus a few nicks and some patina (last picture). No oxidation, no melting plastic or rubber.Because I love these tongs, and looking to build out some dedicated “camping” utensils, I picked up a pair of 12-in Oxo SoftWorks tongs at my local retailer, what I thought was the same thing. It wasn’t. Oxo Good Grips is an excellent product. Oxo SoftWorks is unsatisfying.Differences (pictured):- Good Grips locking mechanism is rubber molded over stainless steel. SoftWorks is plastic.- Good Grips metal is thicker gauge (see exposed ends).- Good Grips rubber handle grips are thicker with thumb contour. SoftWorks are flat.- Good Grips has a beefier spring.Similarities:- Same nylon heads.Altogether, the Good Grips tongs have a dramatically more solid, higher quality feel to them.The locking mechanism:I’ve used a tongs with a variety of locking mechanisms over the years. Squeeze to lock. Gravity rivet. That sliding wire loop.In my opinion Oxo is either the best or equal to the best. Is it strictly one-handed? No. But it is one handed to open: squeeze, push in lock. The mechanism is simple and bulletproof: never breaks or degrades. And it elegantly incorporates a hole for hanging.Easy to clean? Maybe kinda sorta? They’re tongs. They have recessed areas and moving parts. I don’t wash these in the dishwasher, so I’ve probably hand washed them (9-in) a thousand times. They’re not hard to get clean. But I definitely avoid getting massive amounts of dried greasy food crammed up into the hinge. The materials, stainless steel, nylon heads, all very easy to clean and stand up to a good scrubbing with reasonable tools. No green ScotchBrite. No brillo pads.

Buy oxo. Dont waste money buying cheap ones.
Oxo does it again. Top quality. Its worth buying oxo even when its a little more pricier vs the generic ones. Regarding these tongs, the middle rod that holds the two pieces together is really well made. If you are reading this review with a cheap generic tongs in pieces, this is the one you are looking for

The best I own
These work perfectly. The tips line up and grab even the smallest items. Easy open and close. These are the standard to which I measure all others.

Me encanta, es el segundo que compro y el primero tiene más de 6 años y está en perfectas condiciones.

I had it for a while now and it’s still going strong. It grips better than the average pair of tongs and the length is just right. It also does not rust.
