They're strong, easy to use, and well made. He can even use them for picking up feathers in the Ostrich pen without risking injury. Overall, a totally useful tool!"

"I have mixed feelings about these tongs. They function well and are collapsible, which is great for traveling. However, the build quality is disappointing; the edges are rough and can catch your skin. I think a little sanding and some padding would improve them significantly. The design feels odd as well, and I sometimes pinch my finger while using them. Still, they are lightweight and good for field trips."

"I've used other snake grabbers before, but they just didn't feel sturdy or secure. This one is much more sturdy and I love how the lock ratchets as I close it. It made it easy to catch a snake that was stealing my eggs. I appreciate that repair parts are included with each grabber, just in case."

"For the price, these snake tongs are a decent buy. They arrived quickly and seem well made enough for my needs. However, I wouldn't rely too much on the lock since it can be loose. I plan to wrap the grip parts in cloth to ensure I don't harm any snakes, as I'm mainly using them for venomous species."

"I live in Idaho, where I often deal with unwanted snakes in my yard. This snake stick is a game changer compared to my previous method of using my hands. Today, I easily caught a 3.5-foot gopher snake and relocated it without any hassle. Plus, it can help reach items on high shelves during winter!"
