These are NOT fancy. But they are strong, well made and long. I use these on a PK360 grill with everything from small items to large steaks when reverse searing them on a HOT fire. They grab and hold the meat with assurance and they are long enough to keep my hands out of the fire. The steel gauge is heavy and they do not wobble or twist when stressed. They do NOT have a lock to keep them closed. I hand wash them and they have not rusted. I do believe they are said to be dishwasher safe. I just don't do that. Can't beat the price.

Tongs themselves, seem fine and work as intended. However, if you need tongs that lock closed, say for in a drawer, these are not them. They stay open all the time so probably OK if hanging, but not for a smaller drawer.

I bought these to use on outings when I grill over a campfire. These tongs are long, sturdy and cheap. Long to keep my hands away from the heat. Sturdy to withstand heavy use and abuse. Cheap because equipment tends to get lost and broken during camping trips. They also don't have any rubber, plastic, or wood on them that could be damaged if they accidentally get dropped into a fire.I own a set of the 17-inch Rösle tongs but I don't want to take them camping because they cost over 5 times as much as the 16-inch Winco tongs. The Winco tongs are a decent alternative for camping. They have the same usable length because the length of the Rösle includes the hanging loop. The Winco and Rösle tongs are comparable in strength as they use the same thickness of stainless steel. However, the Rösle tongs are more comfortable to hold, and they have a lock to keep them closed.The main downside of the Winco UT-16HT tongs is that they don't have a lock to keep them closed. Winco makes the "heavy duty" UTLK-16 with a lock, but they are not even close to the strength of the "extra heavyweight" UT-16HT. If you need the lock functionality, you should look at the Edlund 4416HDL, or more expensive tongs like the Rösle.

We use these to insert & move the firewood around in our wood stove and really like them. They are sturdier than the ones we previously owned for 2 years from another store. Happy with the size & weight. They don't retract like the others do but they don't open as wide so it works out fine. Less moving parts to break. The material is thicker than the others but that helps it lift more firewood. Would recommend.

Fiquei surpresa com a compra, o material é muito bom e grosso. Tenho certeza que vai durar bastante. Diferente de outros que comprei que dava para amassar com a mão.

The Winco brand's "Coiled Spring Extra Heavyweight Stainless Steel Utility Tong" is a durable and versatile pair of kitchen tongs. It's well-made, easy to clean, and perfect for a variety of tasks.They are a bit pricey when offered at about $9 at the time of this review.Pros:Heavyweight: Made from thick, sturdy stainless steel for durability. Stronger and thicker than others.Coiled spring design: Provides good grip and tension for secure handling, but a challenge to clean as it's not easily accessible.12-inch length: Ideal for reaching into deep pots and pans or flipping large items.Scalloped edges: Offer a secure grip on food without tearing or puncturing.Dishwasher safe: Easy to clean and maintain.Cons:No locking mechanism: Some users may prefer tongs that lock closed for storage.Pricey.Not insulated -- so best to use with something to protect your hands.No hanging loop. A hanging loop is desirable for those who like to hang utensils.Limited size options: Only comes in 12-inch and 9-inch lengths.Here are some other things to keep in mind:Size: Consider what size you need before purchasing. The 12-inch length is good for most tasks, but the 9-inch option might be better for smaller hands or kitchens.Material: Stainless steel is a good choice for durability and ease of cleaning. However, if you're looking for tongs with a softer grip, or for use on non-stick pans you might want to consider silicone-tipped options.
