These are great for grabbing some garnishes and air dropping them for a uniform but at the same time random finish to your food plating. Thin but precise on your hands.

Great tongs for moving delicate hot things around. I use them to adjust things that fall or move during baking. Good grip, good reach and comfortable to hold. They also work great for getting a pickle out of the jar without getting your fingers in the brine.

These Mercer tongs have a nice grip, the resistance when squeezing closed feels just right to me. The textured tip is also good for assuring that what the tongs are holding won't sleep away too easily. Really a great product.

the precision (with no plus) are a tougher to operate (stronger spring), polished stainless version of the 7& 7/8" tongs. Nice fit and finitch. I have weak computer-guy hands but I don't know who would want to use such strong springs for an extended period of time.

These tweezers are essential to playing. They are very long and thin so it makes he placement of small items such as micro greens easy and smooth.

For perfect plating of flowers and delicate items our team uses the Mercer M35134 6 1/8" Curved Precision / Plating Tongs. They are little more tedious but it makes it easy to plate flowers and delicate items. The only issue with using tongs is that it drastically slows the plating time. We do like these and would recommend them to catering companies or restaurants that want very specific plating. Dig & Serve is A Speakeasy Underground Supper Club in Albuquerque, NM. We produce experiential dining events featuring local food from our farm and other farmers we know and trust.

I bought this for cooking bacon and it's proven to be perfect. Traditional tongs just aren't accurate enough to grab the corners and flip like wanted. They are heavy and strong. I'd suggest them to anyone who ever asked.

These tongs are great! Easy to hold and sturdy. I like how they are off set. It makes it easy to see exactly where you are placing your decoration. I use them to place sprinkles or larger candies on my cupcakes. It makes them look picture-perfect!

These tongs or tweezers are great when you are needing to get something set into a precarious position on a cake! I like to use it to put skewers into the cakes with fondant work on them. Great tool to have around.

The stainless steel on this Mercer M35131 Offset Precision / Plating Tongs - 9 3/8" is thick and sturdy. I wish the tongs were a bit finer especially the top.

I don't have much occasion for fancy/delicate platings, but when I do, these are the tweezers I reach for. Great for micro greens, flowers, and other delicate applications. The offset tip aids in getting a good angle without having to have the tweezers totally perpendicular to the plate. A great addition to any food stylist's kit.

These over sized tongs are perfect for placing delicate garnishes on a plate. They are heavy duty. They are easier to control than some other tongs I have had in the past. Highly recommend.

I purchased the Mercer M35133 Offset Precision Plating Tongs because I needed to have the reach over the top of the final plated dishes created by student chefs at the Wine Country Culinary Institute at Walla Walla Community College. The Offset Tongs permitted me to teach the students the correct plating techniques without disturbing other ingredients on the plate especially if the plate was hot.
