Classics

For awhile I tried using plastic tongs, way back in the day, but you can't match the reliability of the rubber tipped bamboo tong

Frankly, I bought these because they were the cheapest I could find. They work as well as any others I've had.

Functional but will need to be replaced

The rubber tips on these tongs cause less damage to prints than the metal or plastic tongs. The wood eventually rots and/or the rubber tips fall off. The serve the purpose, but need to be replaced when they wear out.

You get what you pay for!

Not a bad product, but you get what you pay for. The tips are soft so they don't scratch the paper, but the tips do pop off rather easily.

quality on a budget

It is essential to have enough tongs so you do not cross contaminate your chemicals. The ends are color coded. These compact tongs a perfect if you have a small darkroom and you do not want to fill your work area with clutter. Well made of quality materials. They fit well in small hands and are not cumbersome.

Unfortunately they are junk

I have bought these for a photography club I teach, consisting of 13 and 14 year olds. They get frustrated when the tong fall apart or warp to the point of being useless. Years ago they seemed to be made much better but the quality has dropped (yes, there was some quality originally) to the point that they would not make good kindling for my fireplace

They fall apart

I work in a photo department for a University and these tongs are terrible for group darkroom purposes. The tongs fall apart and the pieces are everywhere and get lost. I am ordering new sets and throwing these away.
