Shimomura 42497 Smart Kitchen Tongs, Large with Floating Tips, No Dirt, Made in Japan, Easy to Grab, Outdoor, Dishwasher Safe, Yakiniku, Fried Food, Total Length 10.2 inches (26 cm), Nippon Chopsticks

Great tongs, happy to add to my kitchen tools. Stainless and built well, felt good in my hand, tips gripped everything nicely from sausages to sliced veggies. Much easier to use with better control, especially for smaller things, than those tongs with big silicone tips.

Great for getting toast and other items out of my toaster oven. Well made and easy to use.

Outstanding! Well balanced, Japanese precision and machining quality. Allows for deft movements in cooking. These tongs are what I've been looking for (and have purchased many other types/brands/designs with no success). They are perfect for picking up noodles, flipping thin fillets, tossing stir-fry vegetables, and precisely moving larger pieces (such as confit tomatoes or heads of garlic) in a roasting pan. It also served beautifully in a pinch when we had to pick up an entire roasted chicken to move it out of harm's way! One side up the cavity the other clasping the breast and the entire chicken was quickly moved to plate. Love this thing. Easily replaces three other similar type implements because it incorporates each of their individual features! Soft rounded tips means clasping delicate items without tearing. The inner serrations or grooves means you can firmly grip anything without slipping. The arched design means you can rest it on the counter with no mess. Stainless steel means an easy dishwasher cleanse. All around fantastic.

Little expensive for its quality. Grip seems little weaker than expected. If I have to buy one more again I will try other products.

High quality tongs made in Japan that offer far more dexterity performance than any other tongs I've used in the past for handling smaller more delicate foods. I also appreciate the built-in stands that keep the working end of the tongs elevated above countertops or other surfaces when you set them down.

Love this. I will buy more if/when my other tongs break or wear out. Much better than the yakiniku with it's narrow pointed tip. Love that it has a built in resting stand.

Very useful for small pieces. Some of the similar style is cheaper but I chose this one due to the bigger gripping tip. After using it for several cooks, I wonder if the bigger tip is really doing much. If I were to choose again, I would go with Todai as it's half the price with just a smaller tip
