Good quality product
Customers say
Customers like the sturdiness, value for money, and functionality of the tongs. They mention they’re heavy-duty, work great for grilling, and are a great length. Some also say the length helps keep their hands out of the worst of the heat. Customers are also satisfied with the look. However, some customers have issues with the closure mechanism and have different opinions on the spring tension.

Great for camping
I bought these to use on outings when I grill over a campfire. These tongs are long, sturdy and cheap. Long to keep my hands away from the heat. Sturdy to withstand heavy use and abuse. Cheap because equipment tends to get lost and broken during camping trips. They also don’t have any rubber, plastic, or wood on them that could be damaged if they accidentally get dropped into a fire.I own a set of the 17-inch Rösle tongs but I don’t want to take them camping because they cost over 5 times as much as the 16-inch Winco tongs. The Winco tongs are a decent alternative for camping. They have the same usable length because the length of the Rösle includes the hanging loop. The Winco and Rösle tongs are comparable in strength as they use the same thickness of stainless steel. However, the Rösle tongs are more comfortable to hold, and they have a lock to keep them closed.The main downside of the Winco UT-16HT tongs is that they don’t have a lock to keep them closed. Winco makes the “heavy duty” UTLK-16 with a lock, but they are not even close to the strength of the “extra heavyweight” UT-16HT. If you need the lock functionality, you should look at the Edlund 4416HDL, or more expensive tongs like the Rösle.

Trusted brand. Great product.
I love clacking a pair of tongs and these are just great. Like I said before the company is trusted and the product is great. Stainless steel so you donât need to worry about and chemicals leaching into your food. The spring is strong and works well. These do not have a lock feature however but thatâs how I prefer them.

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.

Very good tongs for BBQ/grilling
I find that these tongs allow much better control than longer tongs, and do not pinch my palms when using them.Inexpensive and strong, they’d be better still if they locked for storage.

Heavy Duty
I expected this to be of lower quality but! It’s not, it’s made very sturdy and nice! Glad I ordered it after all.

Smaller than expected
These ended up being smaller than I was expecting length wise. I probably didnât look at the measurements before buying so thatâs on me I suppose but they extend only a few inches past my hand which makes grilling with them a little difficult due to the heat. Quality wise, everything else felt solid just wished they were a little longer.
