No matter what ATK recommends, there are better pliers out there.

Although these pliers look strong, they don't hold up well. Tweezers are designed to be grasped and not grasped by the tips. Fragile items are difficult to lift, and larger items can become unstable and often slip sideways. Unfortunately, these pliers cannot be returned, although I bought them from Revain a few days ago. I ordered a different brand of tongs - Pro tong isi. That's the brand I had before. Unfortunately they broke so I decided to try Oxo. My Oxo products are great, but not theseโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some flaws

After the replacement, the OXO Good Grips are still NOT blocking!

These pliers are designed to lock but DO NOT WORK. They were returned and the exact same product was sent. Pliers that DO NOT LOCK. The tongs are shown as they appear when closed, and not at all. They are too long to NOT be able to block them. The span takes up too much space in my dish drawer when open and is bulky as it mixes with other small kitchen utensils in that drawer. I had to tie them with a coffee bag tie to keep them relatively flat when stored!

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • No instructions

Bad universal pliers (not a fan of the angle of the pliers)

I'm not a fan of these pliers. I find the angle of the pliers very limiting in what they can be used for. The tips touch, leaving the rest of the pliers with a large gap. I would only use them to grab large items or a specific item (like a steak). The design is terrible to serve pasta or salad. Fit, workmanship and material are first class. Upgrading the tongs so that more tongs are touching (parallel) instead would increase my rating to 5 stars. I ended up finding a pair of silicone tippedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Not bad

Can be washed in the dishwasher? Not with time.

We got these about 18 months ago as our first pair had the same problem. Now, admittedly, we have a good dishwasher that gets very hot. But this thing says "dishwasher safe," so we're assuming it's fine. But like our first pair before it, the "ergonomic" black grip material covering the grip gradually becomes rough and sticky and begins to rub off your hand with every use. My first pair is here, I took it off. black rubber stuff just to expose the metal but quite a bit of black stuff remains. I

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Not everything fits

After 10 years of use, these pliers still look and function like new.

I was looking for a long smoking tong and I came across it so much that I bought a 12-inch tong 10 years ago. I realized I didn't review the tongs I bought so long ago and thought I'd throw in my two cents. I have several pliers - some I like and some I don't. I also have 12" OXO Good Grips with nylon heads which I use for pans that can be scratched by metal utensils. I also bought a pair of nylon headed tweezers 10 years ago. Both are still in excellent condition, like new but I use them Theyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Not only usable for the intended purpose
Cons
  • There are shortcomings

These are the BEST tweezers I have ever had. I originally bought the 12" but liked it so much that I bought the 9" and 16" sizes to complete the set. This is one of my favorite kitchen tools so I can make these Highly recommend pliers I have had many pliers that have warped, melted, broken, not gripped well etc. This was partly because I was too cheap to buy good pliers, it took me a while to get used to it to force me to buy those more expensive OXO Good Grips but I'm very glad I did.. Theseโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Special Offer
Cons
  • Hard to say
