Customers have mixed opinions about the spring of the tongs. Some say it's strong, firm, and easy to clean. They also say the spring is thicker than the others and appears to have a rivet.

Fairly well made; durable. bit a bit pricey.

Fairly well made; durable. bit a bit pricey.
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.

I love these stainless steel tongs. They are a great length and so durable and sturdy. I have not had any problems with rust yet so that is great. Opening and closing it are easy and I love that there are no extra parts on it. I know some tongs have the piece to keep them closed but I really don't like that. So I'm glad these don't have that. I pop them in the top wrack of the dishwasher and they clean up great. Overall these are great tongs!!

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2024
Size: MediumStyle: Utility TongsVerified Purchase
Great long handled tongs that look nice and are very strong. Don't let the low price fool you, these tongs are legit. The only complaint I'll make is that the ring that locks them closed slides very easily. If you are able to store them in a place where having them clasped together by the ring isn't necessary, then cut the ring off and these things will last you decades. I store them in a drawer so appreciate them being closed, so I've learned to hold them differently to make the sliding ring less annoying. There aren't better tongs at higher prices that I've seen that solve this problem, so why bother spending more.

Much better quality than you'll find in the stores, even at four times the price.
These tongs are made of high grade stainless steel that's NOT magnetic. Even more expensive tongues that we own aren't even close to the quality of these tongues. The Price is also incredibly low right now.
