Decent but not the best.

Comments

Another LFS store item that I just had to have and honestly it was a big waste of money. The fish think that they are going to be eaten when this thing enters the tank. I used it to feed my anemones because I was tired of being attacked by my clowns every time I got near it. The ends are just too bulky for me. It is very light weight and honestly feels cheap.

Liked about it	It is nice to not be attacked by fish when you put your hands in the tank. Nice not being stung by your anemones as well. It's light weight is nice and it is fairly easy to operate.
Didn't like	Pretty cheap construction and I don't think the thing is of any value when it comes to moving bigger objects. The working ends of the unit don't really open enough to do any real work with it. The handles are kind of narrow as well and if you have big hands they are not too comfortable.

Overall rating:		2.5
Overall satisfaction:		3.0
Would consider buying it again:		2.0

Good for moving small, light items.

Comments

This set of tongs has a nice simplistic set up that would help with picking up and arranging small items within tanks shallower than 16 inches.

Liked about it	The teeth allow for a decent grip on algae and other material. The tong handle has a good set of grips that can also be held with gloves if necessary. The entire unit is mad of plastic and easily dissembles which makes it easy to sanitize.
Didn't like	The tongs do not open up very wide (3/4 inch), which makes it difficult to move more sizable objects. Because it's plastic, I feel that it would potentially snap if too much force was exerted.
