TOM Aquarium Accessories Gardener Large Multi-Tool-grabbing & trimming

I got this set since it was cheap and seemed versatile. I ended up buying the nicer ones later. These work ok for real small stuff, but not moving chunks of live rock or even corals. I would say just for frags. Even the grabbing handle is somewhat awkward. I prefer the better ones with a squeeze handle and more like suction cup looking ends on pinchers.

Purchased this more for fun rather than anything else, wasn't expecting much from it, but at the same time though it would be a nice tool to keep me from having to immerse my entire hand in the tank when I wanted to adjust one thing. First of, the scissor tool is worthless, I attempted to trim some of my underwater plants and the scissor jammed instantly. The pincer works pretty well for picking up smaller objects, as well as grabbing plants to bring to the surface.

The pincers quickly become inoperable. I have to open it by hand and reset it so it can grab something else. It's mechanism broke by the 1st week I had it, with only a few uses.

The jaws do not open very far and after one use they no longer open at all on their own. I have to open them and then get the tongs into position and try to grab whatever I am after. if I miss I have to bring the entire unit out of the water. Manually open the jaws and then try again. It's still better than sticking my entire arm in the tank though. It would have been a great product if the jaws did not stick.

I've had reef pickers and most fail... get's rusted, fall apart etc... this product is a step above the rest but still a little lacking.

Ive had it for a few weeks now and i like it, its nimble and does just what i would expect.

I also like the fact the picker is slightly angled for getting between rocks.

The only downside is that sometimes when you close the pickers it doesnt spring back open when you release it.

It's just a slight inconvenience as you have to manually open it near the trigger. If not for that, this would get 5 stars from me.
