Pros - Easy to use
Stores easily with the locking mechanism
Cons - they are wide when unlocked.
Melts when next to fire (more info about that later) :)
We've had these tongs for a few years now. They work well and are easy to grip. They handle hot food nicely as well. These tongs were the preferred tongs in the kitchen by my wife, so naturally when I left them too close to our ignited burner while cooking and relealized there was no saving them, I immediately went to Amazon and purchased a replacement. The replacement is just as nice as our old one. An easy recommendation to purchase.

Get this one: comparison with Oxo SoftWorks
I've had the 9-in version of this used daily for over a decade, at it's still good as new, minus a few nicks and some patina (last picture). No oxidation, no melting plastic or rubber.Because I love these tongs, and looking to build out some dedicated "camping" utensils, I picked up a pair of 12-in Oxo SoftWorks tongs at my local retailer, what I thought was the same thing. It wasn't. Oxo Good Grips is an excellent product. Oxo SoftWorks is unsatisfying.Differences (pictured):- Good Grips locking mechanism is rubber molded over stainless steel. SoftWorks is plastic.- Good Grips metal is thicker gauge (see exposed ends).- Good Grips rubber handle grips are thicker with thumb contour. SoftWorks are flat.- Good Grips has a beefier spring.Similarities:- Same nylon heads.Altogether, the Good Grips tongs have a dramatically more solid, higher quality feel to them.The locking mechanism:I've used a tongs with a variety of locking mechanisms over the years. Squeeze to lock. Gravity rivet. That sliding wire loop.In my opinion Oxo is either the best or equal to the best. Is it strictly one-handed? No. But it is one handed to open: squeeze, push in lock. The mechanism is simple and bulletproof: never breaks or degrades. And it elegantly incorporates a hole for hanging.Easy to clean? Maybe kinda sorta? They're tongs. They have recessed areas and moving parts. I don't wash these in the dishwasher, so I've probably hand washed them (9-in) a thousand times. They're not hard to get clean. But I definitely avoid getting massive amounts of dried greasy food crammed up into the hinge. The materials, stainless steel, nylon heads, all very easy to clean and stand up to a good scrubbing with reasonable tools. No green ScotchBrite. No brillo pads.
