    Comments about General Brand Bamboo Print Tongs (Set of 3) with Rubber Tips:

    For the price, they're fine. After heavy use they will tend to slip a bit from their plastic hinge, but you can just jam em back in there.

          These are used in a gang darkroom mostly with RC paper. They are great tongs and work just as good as the name brand version. I find that they need to be changed out occasionally because students do not generally clean them as well as they should so they can begin to stain paper after a while.

          Comments about General Brand Bamboo Print Tongs (Set of 3) with Rubber Tips:

          These are used by college students in a college darkroom where everything gets beat up more than usual but these tongs lasted less than a day. I expected to get at least a week out of them. They are very inexpensive though, which makes replacing them less stressful.

          • Cost effective
          • Durable

          Cons

            Best Uses

            • Printing
            • Toning prints

            Comments about General Brand Bamboo Print Tongs (Set of 3) with Rubber Tips:

            I use these to do black & white darkroom printing and for toning prints.

            For many years I have used these bamboo print thongs. I teach photography and these are for the college's darkroom and students can put a great deal of use on them and beat them some but they hold up well.

            A simple must have tool that allows you to move prints out of a tray so that you can avoid contact with the chemicals. The rounded rubber tips are kind to the prints which you want so that you don't damage your photographic masterpieces.

            Excellent product at an affordable price.

                This brand of tongs is not good for a lab that has 20 students in 6 different classes. The handles are always falling out of the top. Going to try Tundra now.Do not recommend for large wet labs.
