Aquarium Tongs 27 inch (70 cm), 100% Reef Safe, Multi Purpose for Fresh and Saltwater Fish Tanks, Clip Plants, Spot Feed Fish and Coral, Keep Hands Dry

First one arrived broken. It is made out of plastic so it is a bit fragile, but for common use in an aquarium, it shouldn’t ever break as long as it survives shipment. They are very long! This is a great thing except for the fact that I have a wood canopy cover over my aquarium so they actually ended up being a bit longer than I expected, but these ARE a good product.They are not metal so they WILL NOT RUST- This is a very big positive. No rust means no contamination or toxicity in your aquarium.I called amazon about the first ones arriving broken and they refunded and let me order them again. Great customer service as always.I do highly recommend. It’s a good product for the cost and use.

Biggest piece of junk!Don't waste your money like I did. It worked fair the 1st time, but quickly started to hang up in the closed position. This issue became progressively worse each time it was used. It became useless since it would not release anymore.

This is a replacement for a tong I broke picking up and maneuvering a large shell.Perfect size for a 55 gallon tank. A little difficult to manipulate because of the 4 fingers protruding where you have to lift up to close the jaws. Takes some getting use to. The jaws are not very strong but will pick corals, plants and small rocks up okay. I broke my other tong trying to manipulate a shell which was too much weight for the tongs.

I have a 75 gallon tank so I needed the extra length so that I don't have to put my hand in the water. I just used it to move and place plants into the gravel and also to put in and pull out my holiday decorations that I used to reach in with my arm and hand. The plastic is a little on the flimsy side but it does the job it is intended to do.

plastic feels cheap but should the trick

This is very nice I have a 32 gallon BioCube reaches all the way to the bottom no hands getting wet I love it wish I would have had it this whole time

I purchased this to help with a Green Hair Algae outbreak in my 90 gallon Marine Aquarium. The intended use was to pluck pieces of Green Hair Algae from the Rocks. The interface of the two jaws is not parallel, and the "teeth" do not come together any further than rhe very tip of the tongs. The devise seems to be made of all plastic, which is good for a Salt Water Aquarium, but it will have to be highly modified to be able to grasp Hair Algae. Also, the device needs quite a bit of force at the handle end to grasp anything at the tool end. I cannot imagine using this to attempt to move delicate Corals, or anything else with any degree of precision or delicate touch. Basically, it's cheap CCPWare. I cannot recommend spending money on this device.

Not sure if it's possible to make a product like this for a reef tank without rusting parts...But I've had this for several months...its long enough for the tank, and I've never washed it, and no sign of rust anywhere. The grip mechanism is a plastic wire, so not the best grip, but sufficient for feeding and grabbing crabs out when you've had enough of them bothering your prized corals....
