Braai Tongs

Full product description

Grip, flip and move with confidence. Our braai tongs give you firm control over steaks, boerewors, wings and veg—long enough to keep hands out of the heat, sturdy enough to lift big cuts without bending. The scalloped ends grab food securely, while the spring action feels smooth and responsive. Built for BBQ/braai weekends, campfires and quick weekday grills.
