Amazon.com Review: These tongs get the job done. Two rows of sharp, stainless steel teeth pick up ice cubes and lower them into glasses without splashing. A blunt end and rounded edges help prevent nicks on glassware. OXO’s durably constructed ice tongs also feature a contemporary brushed finish and soft-grip insets along the sides that keep hands from slipping. After the party’s over, a locking mechanism can be pulled to tightly clamp the two jaws together for compact storage. Dishwasher-safe and eight inches in length, the tongs complement other accessories in OXO’s barware collection. OXO backs all its products with a satisfaction warranty, and will replace or refund any returned item. --Ann Bieri

I am a big fan of the oxo steel line. These tongs did not disappoint me. They grip the ice really well.

This isn't my first ice tong, but I believe it may be my last. This is because it just works, well. The blade lock is reliable and easy, the size is perfect, the handle no-slip, the grip on the ice is sure. How many times have you dropped a piece or two of ice while trying to move the ice from bowl to drink glass? I haven't dropped any with this pair.
They also look nice, with great design. If your looking for something that works, buy these. If you are looking for something with a stupid design made out of silver with uncomfortable twisty handles, buy something else.

My mother-in-law was over for dinner one night and fell in love with these tongs. So I had to purchase a set for her for Christmas. They are wonderful, really top notch. If you are looking for a dependable pair of tongs, then these tongs are for you. We even use them for other things rather than just ice. The mouth is so big on the end they are perfect.
