Mainstays 13 Inch Rust Resistant Nylon End Stainless Steel Dripless Kitchen Tongs

I use these all over my house to help pick up dropped items (kitchen, bathroom, living room). They are easy to use and do keep a good grip. Will definitely purchase again if needed.

The length, 12", is good. not too long or short. The tips are coated to grip. The weight is fairly light. I would have liked it to be heavier, but this is ok.

Long enough for safe use on stove-top cooking and with air fryers. Has a lock system that took me a while to understand.

They seem a little cheap, but they do the job.

Very strong, great quality for the price.

works great 👍. has a locking loop at the end

These 12 inch dripless tongs work great. There is a locking mechanism that holds them closed so they take up less space in your drawer. They grip the food that I need it to grip and seem to work great so far. I like the rubber on the handle as it helps keep it cool when handling hot food. I would recommend these if you’re looking for some new tongs.

These things are very useful and I have used them serval times since receiving them. They open pretty wide and close to be compact for storage. The pull tab to open and close works smoothly and efficiently. I like how long these rings are as well. The only bad thing I can think of for the tongs is that they are a bit lightweight, almost flimsy feeling. I don't know how well the plastic on the tongs will hold up over time to heat from the pan.

Broke after 5 months of use. The failure point is the hinge pin, the head broke off and the closing lock no longer works. They are decent tongs for cooking (not too hot of things, nylon melts) and serving. I really liked the length, long enough to keep your hand away from heat or splatter, but not too long that they don't fit in the drawer.

The only silicone part, and even that is debatable, is the grip. The business end of these tongs are nylon, which melts at 400 degrees F and can contaminate food and ruin cookware and surfaces at that temperature. Hope you like the taste of melted plastic! The description clearly states silicone “ends”. Pure fantasy.
