Amazon.com Review
Not only do these 9-inch tongs cushion hands and provide thumb rests, which are useful when gripping heavy objects, but the nylon heads won’t scratch nonstick cookware. Doubling as a hang loop, a tab on the bottom pulls out to lock the stainless-steel tongs shut, allowing them to slip easily into a drawer. The nylon heads are heat-resistant to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and the tongs are dishwasher-safe. --Ann Bieri

A good pair of tongs that don't scratch my cookware
This pair of tongs has a good grip, and good nylon tips. My only gripe is that the arms of the tongs could be a bit easier to clean, but it is a good utensil over all.

No dishwasher safe?
These are great tongs. The other zillion people rating them should have you convinced of that by now. Even though I'm very satisfied I'm going to concentrate on my complaints instead of their virtues.

Cons(-)
- hard to get clean without a dishwasher. The arms are not closed but curve under towards the food side, making a long skinny cave for stuff to hide.
- The rubber grips on the arms are far from heat safe. I'm not sure how they ever got exposed to direct heat there without my hand burning up first, but they did.

Neutral
- In retrospect a longer pair would make some jobs easier. Nine inches is really only right for the stove top.

Pros (+)
- Many, see the other reviews.
- Notably the locking design is vastly superior to the foolish old ring design, what were we ever thinking?

Verdict: buy 'em.

Great Tongs!
This is "The Tong" in our kitchen. I mean, we have others but this is always the first one that my wife and me grabs first when cooking. We use it for frying as well as to turn barbecues. Bought 4 years ago and still working fine.

Pros:
-Soft tip. It will not scratch your pans.
-Locking. You pull the rubber tip to lock it and push to unlock. This preserve some valuable space inside the kitchen drawers.
-Rubberized grip to prevent slipping.

Cons:
-The soft tip is not completely heat proof. It will burn if you accidentally lay it too close to the fire. It will melt if you fry at very high heat.
