Rösle Stainless Steel Lock and Release Click Tongs, 17-inch

not that I am but often have both hands full and don't want to set down the stuff in my left hand to pull the little catch on the majority of tongs to get them to open.....just point them down and squeeze.....presto open tongs......point up and squeeze......presto closed......plus they are a nice length and sturdily constructed of fairly heavy gauge stainless ....expensive but worth it

The media could not be loaded.  This is actually the second pair I've owned. My first pair got damaged in a hurricane if all things and I kept using them for years even though they were wonky. I posted a video so just for the few that don't quite understand how they work. My first set I bought was at a boutique kitchen supply store. The sweet lady that owned the store teased be because I didn't know how they worked. I like how quickly and easy they respond. It's a cool little trick while grilling. I love it. No matter what I will always own one.

I love Rosle products, and their ingenious design. Almost all my kitchen gadgets are Rosle. And I have not one, not two, but three tongs - all different sizes. Love them. But the longest pair (I believe it’s 16” or even longer) is a little disappointment. Unfortunately, they often open on their own (Physics law - too much leverage of the heavier body on the spring mechanism). A couple of times I left them on the counter instead of putting the tongs after use back into the kitchen drawer. They opened and fell on the floor, dragging along a glass cup and breaking it. But I will not give up my Rosle gadget for anything else. I just remember to always put the tongs in the drawer to avoid messy incidents.

I have always liked Rosle utensils (that is, until they started making some of them in China). I already had a pair of shorter (12 inch) tongs and wanted to purchase this additional one for barbecuing. The overall build quality seems to be just as good, but the locking and unlocking mechanism does not work as well. In particular, I seem to have to squeeze the 17" tongs much more so (past the point where the tips touch, so really you are having to bend them just a little bit) when compared to the 12" tongs to get them to unlock. I don't know if this is a design flaw or a manufacturing flaw.

The 17" tongs are the perfect length for using on the grill/bbq. The mechanism works easily and the tongs are heavy weight with a good grip/bite. I tested how well they work with an unconventional method; I easily picked up a full bottle of wine with the tongs! They are heavy enough to flip the heaviest steak. I deducted 1 star because of how expensive the tongs are...otherwise, easy 5 stars!

these things are the bomb!!! I have been using them for many years now. I have turned on many friends to them and they are amazed as well.

I like the size and the ability to open and close them with one hand

I've always liked Rosle products, and these tongs are no exception. Solidly made, attractive, and very functional. BUT, it did take me far too long to figure out the locking/unlocking mechanism. For those of you who may buy these: it works with gravity. Point them up and squeeze to lock, point them down and squeeze to unlock. Hopefully this saves someone the frustration of figuring this out on your own.

High quality utensil. Strong and we'll made. My favourite for use on BBQ. Extra long so no need for mittens. Locking slightly temperamental and sometimes requires 2 attempts but it is w small flaw in otherwise great product

great product, good quality

Die Zange hat eine gute Qualität und ist schön lang, so dass man gut auch in den hinteren Teil des Ofens oder in den Beefer kommt ohne Gefahr sich die Finger zu verbrennen. Ich packe sie immer in die Spülmaschine, was absolut kein Problem ist. Der Mechanismus zum verschließen der Zange ist innovativ und funktioniert meistens auch. Allerdings kommt es immer wieder vor, dass man die geschlossene Zange ablegt und diese dann plötzlich aufspringt und Sauerei verursacht. Im Endeffekt würde ich darum lieber einen klassischeren Schiebemechanismus bevorzugen. Insgesamt aber ein gutes Produkt.

Super Grillzange. Der Schließmechanismus ist genial. Mit einer Hand öffnen und schließen erleichtert das Handling am Grill. Jegliches Grillgut verschiedenster Größen lässt sich gut halten und wenden.Auch bei mir öffnete sie sich manchmal von allein.Tipp für alle: Rösle gibt 10 Jahre Garantie. Ich habe Rösle kontaktiert, per Mail ein Formular erhalten, ausgedruckt, ausgefüllt und mit einer Rechnungskopie an Rösle verschickt. Nach gut 10 Tagen erhielt ich eine neue Zange vom Hersteller zugeschickt. Man merkt sofort den Unterschied. Insbesondere das Schließen funktioniert besser/leichter als bei der anderen.

Wie in der Überschrift beschrieben, bin ich sehr unzufrieden mit der Zange. Der Schließ- und Öffnungsmechanismus ist sehr oft zu den falschen Zeiten aktiv. Nehme ich ein Steak vom Grill und halte die Zange etwas schräg, verhakt sich der Öffnungsmechanismus und das Steak bleibt in der Zange. Genau so wenn man die Zang am Haken aufhängt, öffnet sie sich , oder wenn man sie geschlossen ablegt, überrascht sie manchmal, in dem sie sich spontan öffnet. Also klare Empfehlung zum Nichtkauf!
