Customer Review: Arthritic hands
Summary: 5 Stars
OXO makes wonderful products for people like me who have RA. The tongs are well constructed and make gripping food items very easy. Virtually no exertion is required to hold food.Customer Review: Anyone without tongs, these are for you!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know how I ever managed without my kitchen tongs... As an avid "Food Network" watcher, I slobber over all of the tools that they have at their disposal. However, I have limited funds and limited space and can't justify "one-purpose" tools. But truly, I couldn't do without these! I use them for everything from fish to fries to salads to burgers. The quality is great and the size is perfect!!!Customer Review: These are great

All tongs are not created equal. Most at this price don't grip, don't line up straight, and bend easily. Not these. They are real work horses. They are sturdy, line up, grip well, and the locking mechanism actually works when not in use. I bought 2 pair. If I had 3 hands, I would have bought three. They are just the right length for just about any use. Get them.Customer Review: Good When Plentiful - a review of Oxo's 12 Inch Tongs
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay-- what is all this talk about cooking. These OXO tongs are more versatile than that. We use them all over the house, and outdoors as well. We currently own four pairs.
The first usage we put them to is the one you probably expect: cooking. As long as they are, they're good for BBQ'ing and working with other hot foods. They also work for shifting coals and burning branches in an emergency.
The second use we have for them are as toys. I bought two pairs in December for my son and daughter. They use them constantly (instead of mine) for playing with playdough and as nabber-grabbers. Nabber-grabbers can be used with Polly Pockets, Thomas the Tank engine, and bean bags if you didn't already know that. They also provide great hand exercise for small fry--or so says an OT teacher friend of mine.
The final pair I have specially marked as they are used in the bathroom to pull Polly and Thomas and said bean bags out of the toilet. They are long enough I don't have to get my hands 'involved'. Yuck.
Five Stars. Multiple uses: cooking, games, cleanup. They don't take up a lot of storage space, and they are affordable.
Customer Review: great item

these tongs are very comfortable and easy to use. and they fit in my narrow utensil drawer without popping out every time I open it.
