Review on 🔥 GrillPro 40269: Get a Grip with the 20-Inch Professional Extra Long Tong, Silver by Summer Zitzner

It would be nice if the tongs had a spring mechanism that was strong enough for them to open by themselves. As new as they are I have to use my second hand to open them as the spring mechanism is too weak to open the longer pliers. Also, the locking tab at the rear end, which is intended to hold the pliers in the closed position, is so loose or saggy that it snaps into place simply by manipulating the pliers. Simply lift the pliers and the latch will engage. So again I had to use my other hand to operate/unlock a tool that was only meant to be used with one hand. I believe the manufacturer made longer pliers but did not increase the strength of the locking or spring mechanism to support the weight and leverage associated with the longer pliers.
