Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oxo Good Grips 12-Inch Stainless-Steel Locking Tongs
Customer Review: Great, but BEWARE putting them in a drawer!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
These are the best tongs, but I no longer store them in my cooking utensil drawer. While in there, the tongs opened up and the next time I attempted to open the drawer one "arm" of the tongs jammed between the cabinet top and countertop. It took the cabinet company (and one of their thinnest employees) about 25 min to remove the drawers below, take off the runners and "drop" the back of the stuck drawer enough to pull out the tongs. Customer Review: Fine Set of Tongs
Summary: 5 Stars

These tongs are sturdy, and fine for all tong tasks. OXO makes these tongs in the 9-inch, 12-inch, and 16-inch size. Note that these tongs do NOT have nylon tips at the bottom edges, like another version of OXO tongs that I much prefer. These would not be safe for using on non-stick cookware; however, you could use these tongs for many things you couldn't use the nylon head tongs for because there is no nylon to potentially melt, so you wouldn't have to be as careful with them.
These stainless steel tongs are a great alternative to the cheap aluminum tongs that feel flimsy and break easily. OXO products, including this one, are always easier to use and of high quality.
They store easily in a smaller space because of the locking mechanism at the top and they have a loop if you want to hang them. They clean easily, too. They should be good to go for any kitchen task.

Customer Review: good pullup locking mechanism
Summary: 3 Stars
Lodge brand sells the old design of locking tongs and I find that the locking ring always slips down and closes the tongs when I am using them. The Oxo brand is much better.
