Aquarium tongs are a staple in any aquarist’s toolbox. Most of the available options have limited shelf life: they’re either too weak for heavier jobs or use low quality metals which rust in not time. But our friends at Tunze have just upped the tong game.
We now have two durable material options to choose from:
Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (no aluminum – only plastic and 316L stainless steel and Anodized aluminum (paired with 316L stainless steel for rust-proof durability).
Both versions feature:
- Ability to lift objects up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs.)
- Gripper jaws with rubber slats to prevent slipping
- 360° rotatable gripper for maximum flexibility
- Foldable design for easy, space-saving storage
- Practical hanging loop
- Suitable for use inside and outside the aquarium
- Length: 86 cm (33.86″) – perfect for deep tanks
I’m a huge fan of all things carbon fiber, so I can’t wait to get one of these in my hands and see just how strong it really is.


I love to use tongs and have allot of issues with whats in the market currently. I can’t wait to try these.
