OXO Good Grips 9 Inch (23cm) Tongs with Nylon Heads (better for non-stick cookware) available for $4.10 at The Good Guys, in-store purchase or click & collect.
I love the Oxo Good Grips brand, and was just looking for some Good Grip utensils to stock my kitchen and came across these.

Doing some research, it's an absolute bargain at $4.10 for these tongs - I think the brand, and especially these tongs are good quality.
They also sell them in 12 inches, and also in Stainless Steel in 9 inches and 12 inches, but no where near this price.

For these 9" nylon ones though…
$26.95 @ The Official Oxo Site
$24.95 @ David Jones
$24.95 @ Kitchen Warehouse
$19.07 @ Amazon US via AU with Amazon Prime
$18.98 @ House but that's for the 9" 'SoftWorks' (not GoodGrips) version
$18.00 @ Everten

Unable to select delivery, but it looks like it's readily available at time of posting at MANY Good Guys for C&C all around Australia (VIC, NSW, QL, SA, WA).

    My tongs always fail with the hinge rivet rusting out… seems like a common planned obsolesce to me.

      I've used my Oxo Stainless Steel ones for 5 years without an issue, and they are still going great.

      • Sabrex on 19/07/2019 - 22:17

        Ever wash in dishwasher?

            @cornbeef: If I could give more than +1 to any single OB post, yours would be it.

        • reacher on 19/07/2019 - 22:54

          Normally i will not put those with hinge in the dishwasher, there are one-piece ones which have no problem in the dishwasher

          Mine live in the dishwasher and have never broken, while a number of other tongs have around them.

      Do you happen to use Finish? The phosphorous in the Finish brand detergent seems to eat aluminium rivets. I changed to Earth Choice which is phosphorous free and haven't had a problem with aluminium rivets in my dishwasher since.

        Thanks. I'll consider checking that out… Though most my life I haven't had a dishwasher and this seems to have been a problem for longer.

    Had a bunch of oxo stainless (non teflon) for ever. They are the best and if I did not have 6 pairs already I would buy.

  • hen dawg on 19/07/2019 - 22:48

    Cheers. Don't know the brand but awesome discount! Gotta be better than $1.50 Kmart tongs that rust too soon

    Rrp of $27?

    I like OXO products….. But $27 for a pair of tongs?

    • moo on 19/07/2019 - 23:31

      Depends if it’s ‘thongs’ or ‘tongs’.

        In Ireland, its the same.

  • Jstar on 19/07/2019 - 23:01

    Does the metal go to near the tip of the tongs? Or is there a bit of unsupported nylon at the tip?

    • kerfuffle on 20/07/2019 - 06:57

      Or is there a bit of unsupported nylon at the tip?

      Pretty sure it's this, but it's been a while since I've seen them up close

  • alvian on 19/07/2019 - 23:02

    Kmart nylon tongs - $1.50 each. Similar design but probably much lower in quality.

    • bradenpd on 20/07/2019 - 08:30

      Definitely, not probably.

    • LeifAlbor on 20/07/2019 - 13:08

      Have tried the Kmart tongs. Main complaint with them is the heads aren't nylon coated metal, they're totally nylon - which means they soften easily when used for anything involving heat.

  • kiwizz on 19/07/2019 - 23:08

    Are there ANY tongs that work in a dishwasher? I go though a pair every 2 months as the rivet falls apart.

    • seedyrom on 20/07/2019 - 05:01

      Surely you have your own solution to the problem.

    • bradenpd on 20/07/2019 - 08:31

      I’ve had these Oxo tongs for at least a year, going in the dishwasher once or twice a week and I’m yet to have any issues.

  • Kamsi on 19/07/2019 - 23:11

    Closest to me in Sydney is Port Macquarie 700kms away

    • kerfuffle on 20/07/2019 - 07:08

      Could try get David Jones or Myer to price match

  • K-Daddy on 20/07/2019 - 07:19

    In the specs, it said the tongs can be used in high temperature cooking, can I assume that I can use them to grab the deep-fried food from hot oil? Have anyone tried it yet?

  • Smugsley on 20/07/2019 - 07:52

    Thanks OP! For once living in Coffs is an advantage, local store has plenty of stock

    None in Melbourne

  • walaj on 20/07/2019 - 09:54

    I actually have these, and hate them. I like most oxo stuff, but the angle of the nylon bits mean they are rubbish for picking up most food I've tried.

    or maybe its me.

      These look just like the K-Mart $1.50 ones. They just don't last and completely different build quality IMO.

      • No ONE on 20/07/2019 - 20:01

        I doubt that OXO would be any better than the one linked to AE. They are all made in China. The review on EA is quite promising to be honest.

        Higher price not necessarily equal quality and that is your assumption that AE will not last as long as OXO. I would honestly rely more on AE review since they are a good representation (217 reviews, 868 orders) of the product quality.

  • Neupius on 20/07/2019 - 12:16

    just asking is $4.10 the real price GG gets them for? I would love to know their profit margins.

    • richmond12 on 20/07/2019 - 12:36

      Probably, how would they operate. Labour and rent costs are so high

  • freefall101 on 20/07/2019 - 13:08

    I had a dream last night I went into BigW and they had these for $7,and went "ah, that's why it's so cheap at bunnings" (yes, I know this deal is at good guys)

    Ozbargain is leaking into my dreams.

    Just picked up 3 pairs from my local. Couldn't do C&C online but sent an email through and they had stock and we're able to put some aside for me so worthwhile asking!

  • dlakers3peat on 20/07/2019 - 14:24

    I was able to ring my local store and order it for the same price for pick up in store. It's on backorder.

  • justtoreply on 20/07/2019 - 19:34

    Have owned these. They suck. Honestly not worth $4.

    Tips are too soft. Handles not durable the rubber comes off eventually

    Did not realise that this is nylon i thought it was silicone, probably returning them.
