Title: Great Set of Tongs
Product review: Lightweight but durable enough for every day use. 12 inch length is the best length to weight ratio... Nothing's worse than trying to pull a chicken out of the roaster and using tongs that are too long (which would require extra clamping strength from your hand) or tongs that are too heavy and you need another tool in the other hand.Make sure people know how to use them though. For some reason people don't understand that the hinge/heel is the lock to open and close the tongs. My sister thought they only opened a teeny bit and didn't even know that they release for like 2 months (haha!). And my boyfriends son thought the hinge twisted for some reason and ruined my first pair. I didn't hesitate and bought another pair that night!Very good tongs, and incredibly priced now too. My first ones were $20
