These tongs is made of stainless steel and is available in the area is very flat pliers. This one comes very well under the food. Here I see the advantage even over the tongs 6610. Since the other tongs is forwards higher, you can offend a little easier at the barbecue food, get stuck or this toast etc. With the Weber barbecue tongs Style 2012 has a perfect handling with the food to be grilled. It sets very well in the hand and has to get the right length to no hot fingers or hands. When not in use these pliers is closed by a latch. Overall, a very good quality to justify the price!
