Now spouse has shown me locking me mechanism it makes sense - was trying to find a YouTube video showing and couldn’t. Looking at the symbols on the lock literally the top of the locks are horizontal for locked and then with one part of horizontal bar lifted for unlocked. I was equating the symbols with how the bar should be on the top of the Weber tongs literally! The bar was in a vertical position as opposed to the horizontal position in the symbol and so I thought I had to twist it to the horizontal position and then lift one side to unlock so matched what the symbol doing. Now I have been shown I can see how I goofed reading these international symbols for locked and unlocked and it is an easy shift to the right with the bar while simultaneously squeezing the tongs unlocks it. I feel a bit silly but recommend if you had added the technique of how to unlock the tongs onto the videos already have on YouTube about the tongs would be useful. Great tongs though.
I enjoy the grip texture and the tongs aggressive grip for flipping larger pieces of meat. The locking mechanism is a bit overdone in my opinion. It doesn’t fit in any drawers in my home so now it’s hanging off the grip permanently. The locking mechanism does work though and seems sturdy. Hope they last. The previous pair I purchased still lock by pulling back but the black plastic literally won’t stay on the tool anymore.
These tongs are great. Easy to use, spring tension just right, & you can pick-up just about anything easily. Great precision tips. I also own a Webber Genesis II, great gas grill... Gotta love Webber...
