Customer Reviews (4.2 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Olivia F. ★★★★★

The rack ridges on these tongs give a solid grip on wet photo paper, and the length keeps my hands out of the developer tray without any awkward bending. I’ve processed a dozen prints this week and not a single one slipped, even with the solution turning dark.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

Exactly what I needed for the darkroom—the grip is solid and lets me handle prints without ever touching the chemicals. They feel sturdy in the hand and do the job perfectly for quick film development.

Abigail W. ★★★★☆

The grips keep my fingers well clear of the developer, which is exactly what I needed for those longer trays. They do the job without fuss, though the plastic feels a bit stiffer than I'd prefer for extended sessions.
