What Others Say
Okay.
The length is just right for most of the things I've used it for and it's easy to clean and feels fairly solid in the hand, but I tried using it to turn a small rump roast while browning and it just wasn't strong enough. This is a problem as that was one of the main tasks I'd planned on using it for when I ordered.
It is very useful for lighter use such as removing garlic bread from baking sheets, etc.
Work well
These tongs work well. At times they are a bit hard to manage. The silicone is more flexible than metal tongs, so sometimes it's hard to get a good grip on the food, especially if it's a heavy piece of meat. But overall, I like them. At least I know they won't scratch my cookware.
Love'em
I like to hold off on a review until I've had a decent test drive. I've had these tongs for a few months and I can unequivocally say that they are great.
I purchased the 9.5" size because (1) I believed that long tongs would provide less control, and (2) I would not need the long 12" tongs unless I expected to be working over, say, a hot barbecue grill, which I didn't plan to be doing.
I initially purchased one pair tongs. I immediately liked it so much I quickly ordered two more. Why would I want three pair of tongs? I wanted two tongs so I could, by using a pair of tongs in each hand, wrestle a large object (e.g., a whole duck) and still have one tong available for my girlfriend to cook with at the same ...

Perfect
I call this my Goldilocks tong. Some tongs are too long, some are too short, but this one is just right!
Hate them
If you plan on using these to turn food in a pan or on a grill, then don't buy these. The Silicone is slippery and you can't grasp the food no matter how much pressure you put on them. Go to Bed, Bath and Beyond or to your cookware aisle in the grocery store and get some without the silicone. They are cheaper and you'll be able to use them.
