Good long tongs recommendations

[JohnTak]

I need tongs in the 20 inch or longer range. I have a one but the screw that holds the wood handles on are failing. The same thing happened on the previous ones I had. Thank you in advance.

Honestly I've found none better than OXO tongs. I own others but I constantly grab the OXO ones. Just the right spring tension, well balanced and very easy to work with

These are Charbroil brand and excellent. Have used for years.

I have a set of those. Exact same ones. Not bad I still end up reaching for my OXO ones more often

I have quite a few tongs some no names some OXO, a few Weber, CB etc. Most are in the 18" length for grilling.

Maybe OXO makes them because they look exactly the same, or at least the ones reviewed in Timothy’s post.

I really like my grill light tongs. the one on the left is an oxo.





Amazon has the tong/spatula combo on sale for $39.








I've had these for years. Earlier this year the spring broke on the tongs and after one email to their customer support they promptly replaced the entire tong.

Thread 'Grillight: excellent customer service'

Several years ago I was given a set of grillight BBQ tools as a birthday gift. I like that they have an LED flashlight to light up my winter grilling, and I use the tongs and spatula all the time.

The spring in the tongs broke around Christmas. I looked into replacing the spring and thought I'd ask them what size/strength it was since there are lots of springs out there. I sent an email to the address listed on their website, got a reply the next day asking for my mailing address and they would send a replacement. I was expecting a spring, yet a few days later to my surprise I received...

Outset 22" tongs with rosewood handles. I've has these for about 15 years and they're great.

I don't think so because I have both OXO branded and Charbroil branded. They feel different. The balance is different. Not that the others are "bad" or unacceptable. Not at all. They're really good tongs. Just that when I pick up OXO ones they just feel like an extension of my hand. I was given the Charbroil ones. And they do get used, but my hands "prefer" the OXO

I second Larry's recommendation of the OXO Good Grips. I have others, but I usually reach for the OXO's. I particularly like the lock-closed feature, which means they're not going to spring open unexpectedly when I put them down on one of my little side tables and fall off to the ground.

I have been replacing my worn and not real happy with stuff with OXO. Overall pretty happy with their stuff. I like my current tongs that are falling apart but must say the lock mechanism is useless.
