Just wondering whether others have use this or a similar product and what your experiences have been? Does it work well?

It's $45 cdn at MOP for the 28". Is it worth it?

Not quite sure how to put a link to it, so hope this works:

Thanks in advance for your replies.

I use stainless steel tongs from my kitchen. I bought some aquarium tongs before and they are too weak to lift up most stuff, so I threw them out, they were a total waste of money.

Depends on your use. I have something similar, but cheaper, that I use for spot feeding bottom feeders. If you want to do things like aquascaping, I agree with Chefkeith that they're probably too weak.

I use Pampered Chef nylon tongs. They are really strong--I can pick up a chunk of live rock pretty easily, and won't rust or react with salt or fresh water.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to check out the kitchen supply stores.
