Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Customers like the grip of the tongs. They say the scalloped, gripper edges hold on to food better than any other tong they've used, and the togs are strong enough to grip whole sheet pans or even cast iron pans. The feel/tension is perfect for precision handling without stressing your wrist from repeated use. The tong head is nicely rounded to grip food, and has a good solid feel in the hand. The spring mechanism holds us with use, and is fairly tight, which they prefer over floppy tong.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I am glad that I ordered four different pairs: 9" (very convenient size for breakfast sausage, bacon, and other small tasks), 12" regular grip, 12" Gripper (flat end--fabulous for getting under more tender foods), and 16" (great for barbecue). All of them open wide enough to pick up larger items, such as a chuck roast, whole chicken, large fish, and they have the dexterity to handle very small items, including small jars and ramekins.
The locking mechanism is convenient. The pull-tab is not large and imposing, and when the tongs are in the open position, the tab all but disappears at the end of the handle--doesn't get in the way. Other reviewers have said that they wish the locking tab would slide easily in and out, so as they cook, they can just flip the tongs to unlock and lock again. I can see how this would be a boon to a cook, but these tongs do not accommodate this desire--the locking tab is tighter than this would allow. However, for me, this is not an issue. (Perhaps, they'll loosen in time, as one reviewer stated.)
These tongs wash up well by hand or in the dishwasher. And, they are made in the USA. If you are looking for a really good, functional pair of tongs that won't rust, fall apart, pinch your hand, or otherwise fail, try these. You won't be disappointed.
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2023
Usually, I wait a bit to review something, but I did have a chance to use this today and was impressed. Mind you it was a limited workout involving some bacon strips, but it functioned flawlessly! One cool thing I discovered was that in the locked/closed position, the jaws were open wide enough to handle bacon! Most excellent!
One oddity though: It says "Elund" in the description and on my order, but the tongs have "SYSCO" stamped on them along with a bunch of other information, like "stainless", "heavy duty", the part number, the patent number, "locking tongs" (in case you couldn't figure out what they were), and "Made in USA"! Not complaining, they could say "Purple Pirate" on them and I'd still be happy.
Great product! Glad I bought it.
