Heavy duty tongs

[frag!]

I was wondering if anyone could guide me to some HEAVY DUTY tongs I can use on my 31 inch deep aquarium. I have bought the cheap plastic but they do not hold up. A website or alternate tool idea would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Same here. Tired of putting my arm in the tank every time I need to move something. So what brand grips are people buying that are reasonably priced?

Ive got the 32" but your going to get your hands wet dealing with a 31" tank. They are definitely a nice pair of tongs and hold up extremely well. I haven't tried the telescoping kind yet but from the reviews looks like a win win!!

Coralifes use to be pretty good but they went to crap in the last year.

I use these- Coralife Aqua Tongs: Aquarium Maintenance Tools

I have used both, the coralife ones didn't last, rusted out with in a few months. If you rinsed them out in fresh water every time they are used they might last longer.
The other ones lasted longer but seemed to get weaker as they got older and considering the price they should have lasted allot longer that a year and a half.

Now I get mine at Menards here in Chicago, 30" long ones. cost me 3.99 at Christmas time, I buy 3 of then and I am good for usually over a year.

I use Reefkoi tongs everyday. If you rinse after each use they last quite a while. I do purchase a few at a time, however.
