40" Fire Tongs Firewood Grabbers and Fire Poker Set, Stainless Steel Large Log Grabbers for Outdoor Fireset Fire Pit Bonfire Campfire Backyard Deck Indoor Fireplace Tools Set

I have big fires in an outdoor stone fire pit that's about 6 feet across. It can burn about 30 or 35 logs and gets to 1500 degrees easily. I am constantly adjusting logs with these tongs and some of the logs are whole and weigh 20-25 pounds. These tongs easily handle these huge logs...and regular split logs are a joke. Plus, they have such tight tolerances and with the sharp teeth, they are good to pick up a leaf or a small stick if needed. I have gone through other aluminum tongs in the past that are the same length but nowhere near the strength or durability of these. Actually 2 sets of those went in the trash and they were more expensive.Cons:Some people might say a negative would be that they are too heavy to extend your arms out with them - that's because they are heavy duty, thick steel, and nice and long.The only negative I have is the plastic handles. While they seem heavy duty and I doubt they'll be an issue other than if they got melted....they don't feel good ergonomically. Bad shape in my opinion, but that keeps the price down in the affordable range. At some point I will either wrap them in some type of tennis racket tape or just deal with it, they're not that bad.At this time, I can't think of any other negatives with these tongs.Pros:AffordableSuper heavy dutySharp grabber teethZero slop in the scissor actionLength, at least for my type of bonfiresNo rust stainless steel, I left them out in the rain one night and there was no rustOne last note, I also have a bonfire Solostove for my big fire startup ember beds and those fire bowls require finite precision when moving logs around inside the bowl ...plus you're at an awkward angle. These monster tongs are accurate and easy enough to handle that job. I also melt glass fire diamonds in my big fire when it's at it's hottest and these can gently and accurately pick the orange hot glass diamonds out of the fire without cracking them. If I had the machinery to cut steel like this company can, these are exactly how I would make a set of tongs.Enjoy them

I've been using the accordion style grabbers forever. They work but it's hard to hang on to larger (or very small) pieces of wood and they always get rusty and stiff after a few years. These grabbers are the polar opposite. They have sharp teeth that really holds on to the wood and the stainless steel construction and bolted hinge point means they won't rust and seize up. I got these for camping and liked them so much I also ordered a 40" pair for my home fire pit. Highly recommended.

I bought to keep outdoors on patio for breeo setup, perfect lenght and better quality than expected especially at this price. All stainless and works flwalessly.

Sturdy, units. Would have given them five stars; however, the finish is lacking as the edges of the tools are very sharp. You can almost use the tongs as scissors. If they rounded the edges, they would be much better.

Gave this as a christmas gift, and it did not disappoint. This is of great weight and very sturdy. Sharp teeth on tongs to grab logs, and great length, too. Worth the price, by far.

The grabbers are durable and allow you to grab heavy logs. Great for mixing a fire and adding larger logs as well. Made of heavy metal.

While entertaining friends at my fire pit, I went to throw some more wood on the fire. As I placed the logs in the flames, everyone gasped as I was using my bare hands to shift the wood and embers. I told them it didn't hurt because I felt nothing due to my lack of nerve endings as a result of previous fire pit sessions. In unison, everyone recommended the 40 inch Fire Tongs Firewood Grabbers and Fire Poker Set. I gingerly pulled my phone from my pocket and with the assistance of my friends, scrolled to the item on Amazon. Soon the set arrived and even though it's stored outside, no corrosion has formed on it. It's solid and appears well made. Now after using them, I'm starting to get feeling back in my hands!!

No more flimsy firewood turners
