bought to use in the RV and grilling at home. does the job and durable and easy to clean. great quality

Best tongs I ever used! They open up to almost 4's which works for me. No lock, no problem! Very comfort in my hands and they are a great addition to my tools! Highly recommended!

Quality tongs. Could be improved by a locking mechanism for easier storage, but they work well.

The Winco brand's "Coiled Spring Extra Heavyweight Stainless Steel Utility Tong" is a durable and versatile pair of kitchen tongs. It's well-made, easy to clean, and perfect for a variety of tasks. They are a bit pricey when offered at about $9 at the time of this review. Pros: Heavyweight: Made from thick, sturdy stainless steel for durability. Stronger and thicker than others. Coiled spring design: Provides good grip and tension for secure handling, but a challenge to clean as it's not easily accessible. 12-inch length: Ideal for reaching into deep pots and pans or flipping large items. Scalloped edges: Offer a secure grip on food without tearing or puncturing. Dishwasher safe: Easy to clean and maintain. Cons: No locking mechanism: Some users may prefer tongs that lock closed for storage. Pricey. Not insulated -- so best to use with something to protect your hands. No hanging loop. A hanging loop is desirable for those who like to hang utensils. Limited size options: Only comes in 12-inch and 9-inch lengths. Here are some other things to keep in mind: Size: Consider what size you need before purchasing. The 12-inch length is good for most tasks, but the 9-inch option might be better for smaller hands or kitchens. Material: Stainless steel is a good choice for durability and ease of cleaning. However, if you're looking for tongs with a softer grip, or for use on non-stick pans you might want to consider silicone-tipped options.

Works great

I bought two of these tongs. They work great inside or outside on the grill.

Glad I found these. There are heavy duty and feel so much stronger while using. I do recommend

I’m disappointed that it’s not heavy duty, it twists when you grip something tight with it, it’s thicker than another similar tong that I have, but my thin one is stronger that this one, and gets better grip too.

Achei robusta. Negativo é que não tem trava para fechar, mas pelo preço vale super a pena. Até agora tenho gostado dos produtos da marca

Really good. Not flimsy at all.

These are excellent tongs! Well made and solid. Will surely last a very long time. Only thing preventing a 5-star review is that there's no ring or locking mechanism to keep them closed when not in use, making storage a bit of a pain. Otherwise, nearly perfect. Def recommend.

As you can see in my picture, the handles are just a folded over piece of flat metal that creates an open channel all the way from the clamshells to the end where the spring is. I was using these tongs to take out some food from a pot of hot oil. As I tilted the tongs slightly past the horizontal, hot oil from the clamshell end ran up the channel in the handle and out the end where the spring, burning my hand. Also, it's next to impossible to properly clean the channels in the handle. Maybe I'll try and get my money back but I've already used them. Don't buy these tongs.
