EISCO Beaker Tongs, 9.75" Long - Rubber Coated Jaws - Nickel Plated Steel - Holds Items with Diameters of 2.25" to 6"

A solid purchase for tongs. They work great to pick up hot breakers

They suit the purpose for this task. Wide enough to grab large beakers.

Being legally blind, I find it difficult to judge depth, and distances well enough to safely remove small, hot bowls, or cups from a toaster oven, especially with oven mitts. So, I thought back to my chemistry class days, and remembered the big beaker tongs we used for handling large containers with. I figured these might aid me in inserting, and removing small bowls that have nearly vertical sides from a toaster oven. Maybe even a microwave. I just got these in, today, and tested them out with a custard bowl, and they seem to hug the bowl nicely, with one hand. You do need to be careful when placing, or removing the bowl if it's placed in the center of the oven rack, or your finger tips might touch the rack, so, best to place a bit of foil on the rack, then place the bowl, and wen removing placing, or removing the bowl, just grasp the foil with the tips of the tongs to slide the bowl forward enough to safely grasp the bowl without scorching your finger tips on the rack. Or, you can use both hands to do it. I do wish the handle ends were about a couple of inches longer, though. One important note: If you're baking above 380F, you might want to consider removing the rubber grips, as rubber melts at about that temperature. So, a 450F baking temp may well melt the rubber, especially if you hold the item too long. I've not tested this with a hot over, and bowl, yet, but as hard as it is to remove melted rubber from anything, and especially as these custard cups are on loan from me mum, I'll not be putting the rubber to the test. LOL :) I noticed the construction seems quite rugged, and not at all flimsy. At least I now have a safe way to remove a small, hot bowl from a hot toaster oven. :)

Works really well for most Griffin-style beaker and other hot objects. These seem to be too big for 50ml and smaller though. I wish the pivot was held together by something that could be adjusted (torx screw or something), other than a rivet. Well made.

They do what they were ment for good quality

They look just like the picture, and they lift beakers like a champ. I'm using them to pluck fleas offa lily.

Did a great job at picking up hot beakers and flasks.

Work well, though I wish it included a note about temperature ranges for usage. I melted small parts of the rubber part that are negligible because I heated tin-steel alloy cans and grabbed them with this. Other than that, no issues!

Product is as described and are weighty. hoping they are better than a set of plastic dipped mold tongs
