Review on Premium KitchenAid Stainless Steel Utility Tongs: 10.28 Inch Versatility at Your Fingertips by Darin Grosz

UPDATE: We've only had this for a very short time. (The return/replacement window is still open.) Only used a few times. loved her first But the locking mechanism is already wobbly, doesn't work properly, so gets in the way of using the pliers when they're open and you're trying to use them for something. replacement ordered. I hope we have better luck with the new ones. I will update again. Original review: These are really good pliers. Reliable, durable, with a good weight. Well done. I love that they don't have those "comfortable handles" on the sides because they usually start falling apart, melting, or disintegrating in no time. Or catch dirty trash and leftover food in hidden places to make them uncomfortable as they are very difficult to clean properly. These things have a simple design that works. Very grateful. At the same time, they are easy to handle. The locking mechanism is also easy to use and works without any problems. The straps are a bit longer than the regular 9" straps I'm used to. But it's not a problem. Inches (Without the locking mechanism. With the locking mechanism, they're 11-1/2".))
