I have been looking in stores for the smaller tongs and these are the right size plus cost was a factor

It is small and the tong and spatula don't meet evenly. I ended up using a regular fork and spatula instead.

Yes, I love a pair of tongs. Who'd a guessed. Given they can be locked closed, easy to store...and given I can toss in dishwasher (and am a lousy hand washer)...the best.

Its a nice idea.  I didn't pay attention but thought it was smaller.  Wish it was.  Also the tongs need to be closer for me and stronger.  So it kinda doesn't do what it shows in the picture for me and thats just with a tooth brush.  I wish i could give it more because I still like it, and it works for me well, but its just not what it could be or should be in my opinion.  It hasn't shown any signs of mold yet =)  few months

I couldn't find this in any of the stores here because most of the ones I found were a lot smaller, so I decided to check on-line. Exactly what I was looking for, but maybe a bit pricey.

I guess I thought this would be a little bigger than it is.  I was looking for a new spatula to use in cooking hamburger etc in a frying pan.  It is to small for that purpose.

I used it the other day to remove cookies from the pan and it works like a dream for that......holds two cookies.

It has been holding up well for the few times I used it.

I got two tongs from Oberhaus Kitchen Products and they are exactly what I was looking for! I wanted one for BBQ grill so 12 inches one is perfect for that. It can hold and flip steak easily and feels pretty solid. I use 9 inches one for salad etc...I like that these tongs stay closed easily for easy storage. I have so many misc. kitchen items that one of my drawer is filled with misc. stuff and I am glad these close easily. We are happy with the products!

Great quality and very handy!  I had one set of tongs, but could not recall where I got it, but my husband and I liked and used it so much, I searched and found the same set on Amazon and bought it!

My daughter has small fingers and your store carries 3 & 4. The prices and selection are also a plus. I would recommend this product to others.

Excellent for smaller items, like getting brownies out of a pan, or getting cookies off a pan which were overbaked by a few seconds....

The tongs themselves were a little disappointing by their look.  I was expecting a slightly heftier product than what I received.  However, I've used the tongs several times and I find them to be suitable for most light-duty cooking.  The magnet in the base of the tongs is downright ingenious and I'm reasonably pleased with my purchsae.

Here, again, the set is quite small.  As a guy I would have preferred something larger.  But it fits the small sake set that I bought so, overall, I have no complaints.

I was pleased that Amazon has lots of choices, and in different price ranges.

I am not sorry I bought these items - I just wish there had been something microwavable in a larger size.

The smallest one is the easiest to work with bc of the handle. I like that it's thick and durable and doesn't take up much space in the cupboard!!

Although I received these free of charge, they are nice tongs. Not too heavy so your hand doesn't get tired and I like the latch that holds them closed. Especially nice for storage. They are lighter weight than my older pair, but seem to work just as well.

Just what I needed...these are difficult to find in the stores anymore!

Already owning the larger, (albeit black colour)  Kuhn Rikon Chef's Tongs in this same style, was glad to find this more 'mini' version offered on Amazon.com, (they are currently unavailable via Amazon-UK) and I like this design better than the, (IMO - not as versatile) different style of tongs which the same Swiss company offers. While there is a minor degree of limitation because of the shape, (where the tong-end 'grooved thickness' adds a little bulk when turning/lifting very delicate cooked food) overall though, they work well for me when cooking in the pan or under the grill and grip the food well. I consider this style better than other Silicone tongs which I've used in the past and they should last a decent while because of the inner structure of wire/metal within the heat-resistant Silicone outer layer(s) which gives them a nice quality 'feel'.... Now that I have both sizes, consider I've got most 'bases' now covered... Besides, different 'horses for courses' and I certainly had no hesitation paying extra shipping to get them over to me in the UK....  Gave a 4 star, (I like it) rating because of the earlier mentioned limitation.  Other than that, they seem nigh-on worth a 5 star rating and I really like the unusual green colour too! ;-)

larger than any other ones I could find while shopping. Noticeably larger than a smaller one I came across at Lowes in case anyone was looking there. It seems like you can only find the small versions nowadays. I was happy with my purchase.
