These tongs are really good quality! The silicone is soft, the metal isn't cheap and thin, and the locking mechanism stays securely in place when you need it to. I love the "legs" that hold it off the counter so you don't make a mess all over the counter. I will definitely be buying more of these. They hold firm and don't drop things when you're using them like some others that I have tried in the past. The size on both sets of tongs are really quite perfect. They're not too long or too short.. they're great. We have used ours to grill on our BBQ as well as cook on our stove and in our oven. They work perfectly in all situations. We are very pleased and would highly recommend to someone else.
