These tongs are perfect! If it weren't for a product review on tongs in "Cook's Illustrated," I would probably never have looked at this brand. "Cook's" says Edlund's the best, and they are! They are sturdy stainless steel, close without pinching, and have the right amount of grip in the "business" end.
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.

No Lock
Tongs themselves are great, but when the item is advertised to have a lock in the photos and product description, i expect a lock! Returning and reordering. Hope they get the next one right.

I purchased the 9” and 12” “Edlund” locking tongs. The 9” tongs do not lock, are not EDLUND, and are not made in America. The tongs are labeled Winco and made in India. See photo. The 12” tongs are marked Edlund, Made in USA, BUT they feel thin, look like they went through a war, and squeak. Also, the locking mechanism does not lock. See photo. These tongs are nothing like the heavy Edlund tongs I have owned for a decade. Amazon, this supplier needs to be removed from your site. They are ripping-off all of us. I will order from Edlund directly and return this trash to Amazon.
