Abstract
Tongs are provided, where the tongs have a pair of tong arms each having a first end and a second end. Each tong arm comprises a substantially cylindrical hinge component at the first end formed from a structural material and a gripping component at the second end formed from the structural material. A handhold extends from the hinge component to the gripping component and is formed from a handhold material, and a substantially linear linking element extends from the hinge component to the gripping component of the corresponding tong arm. The linking element is formed from the structural material. The structural material is stronger than the handhold material, and the linking element is surrounded on at least three sides along its length by the handhold.
