KitchenCraft Small Kitchen Tongs, Stainless Steel, 23cm

It's really thin and flimsy, but it's really cheap too so that's what you get! Still works fine, just don't expect lifting anything heavy with it, like a trout or a T bone..

I was looking for a pair of tongs for my new barbecue.I didn't want to spend over £ 10 on something that will be only occasionally used.I saw these. They looked like everything I needed, for a very reasonable price.I ordered the 30cm long ones, as that seemed a good safe working distance.I must say, I'm impressed.The tongs themselves are made from 0.5mm steel sheet, folded and pressed into shapeYes, they are not the sturdiness tongs made, but they are strong, and certainly more than adequate for turning sausages and burgers.They have a nice little captive clip, that you slide down the handles to keep them closed.It doesn't come right off in use, so you can't lose it. A nice touch.They are magnetic, so I have no doubt they are made of standard stainless steel, with a nominal chromium mix.For the money, I'm very pleased. They are exactly what I wanted.If you are expecting a "Le Creuset" style, forged from girders, type of tongs, then you will be disappointed. If however, you accept these for what they are. A perfectly acceptable pair of tongs that will happily turn your barbecue sausages and burgers, then you won't be disappointed.Recommended.I hope you found this review helpful.

Open/close mechanism works well but pointless grooves make them almost impossible to clean

Love this product, came in very handy when I broke my hip and had a hip replacement as I couldn't bend down to pick up anything , with the help of the tongs I didn't have to keep calling people for help

you get what you pay

Cheap, cheerful and absolutely fit for purpose.Versatile for use in the kitchen or over the barbecue, they are precise enough to flip individual pieces of diced meat in a frying pan and strong enough to lift and turn joints of meat smoking on the BBQ with equal ease.Only gripe I have is the locking strip which tends to slip down and lock the tongs closed during use. Not a huge issue just changed my grip to stop it slipping, but it is a mild annoyance. Not that it will stop me buying more if I need them.

The sliding ring used to close the thongs accidentally keeps locking the tongs during normal operation if the tongs are pointing downward.Rather buy the tongs that have the locking mechanism at the back that you pull out to lock

Not as solid as I’d hoped. The lock bar has jammed on them a couple of times and I’ve cut myself trying to release them. Sharp edges, very hard to clean and dry
