If they were the 72" I bet Diego would jump on them !!!

[Cenobite]

If they were the 72" I bet Diego would jump on them !!!

Now why would Diego want a pair of tongs that were twice as tall as he is ?

[MRC]

Oh that was low. I don't even go there. He makes up for it in coolness !!! Vote for Micah and Diego !!!!

[Cenobite]

Vote for Micah and Diego !!!!

I thought his wifes name was Tiffany.

I'll take dem tongs. But I won't jump on them.

not even for $5.00. There are so much better tongs on the market and available in BRAND NEW condition through AHA ( Contact Cenobite for tongs and hooks).
Whitney Tongs, mfd by Whitco, are arguably, the best tongs made:

Midwest Tongs are quite good and they have a wide variety of sizes and types as well as snake hooks: http://www.tongs.com/

The tongs shown are hard to control and are what is considered "ancient technology" in the field of snake handling equipment. There is a very real possibility of doing permanent damage to a snake with the tongs shown.

(Sorry Rick and Diego. Those are my feelings.) :a1451: :a1451:

those kind of look like Midwest tongs to me without the pretty blue anodizing.

ever hear of Pillstrom???:dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy:

[MRC]

Yes, but they appear to be the exact same design as the Midwest standard style. Either kind can injure a snake if used improperly.
You sure get :dizzy: easily :Nana

Hey Jerry...
The tongs in the picture ARE made by Midwest tongs. :173go1:

Whenever the topic comes up, you always bring up whitney tongs. How are they any better than the standard Midwest tongs. How are they safer for the snake ?
You can cause serious damage to a snake using any pair of tongs so why would you get on here and bash my thread ?
Please let us know what makes Whitney tongs so much safer than the Midwest standard tongs.

[Cenobite]

One thing you are correct on is this- you can buy a brand new set of tongs from tongs.com for only $59.95.

[MRC]

I guess a positive note Rick is that your thread is staying at the top. If they were the inferior Hillbilly Pillstrom tongs they cost more, so $25 is a screaming deal.
According to their site you will " catch more snakes" can be used for animal control, cathin frogs and BBQ tongs. Only in Arkansas-LOL

Dude that is awesome ! I think I'll keep them and use them to catch frogs.
I had never thought about using them to flip ribs on my barbecue either !

I gotta' go- I think I hear a raccoon outside in the backyard. I think I'll grab my tongs and go catch it !

[viborero]

Ok Rick, you heard Jerry. I'll give you $4.99. Cash.

[Cenobite]

Can you wait until after the weekend ? I'm having a barbecue.

[viborero]

Ooh! Save me some frog legs!!:ant:
