Just a squeeze.
This may look like a classic pair of tongs—they’re designed to have a timeless look, after all—but wait till you hear what’s hiding under the hinge. These dynamos have a special mechanism that lets ‘em lock and unlock with just the squeeze of a hand (yep), perfect for multitasking at the grill. Plus, they’ve got extra length so you can stay cool as you do your turning and flipping. Oh, and to top it off, they’re made from super-sturdy stainless steel...so you bet they’re ready to handle the heat.

Good product, too long
These are great grill tongs for sure...so I guess they deserve a 5....but we wanted non silicone tongs for use within the kitchen as well. Unfortunately there isn't a smaller version so we compromised. If they made these in a 10-12" they would be phenomenAL.
