Aqua Tongs

[Dave]

Can someone who owns a pair of these let me know where on the tongs they start measuring the length.

There are tongs that are 25", but if they are starting the length at the back of the hand grip, I suspect my hand will still be touching the water if I have to get to the bottom of my tank.

I think its the tip of the tongs to the handle if I remember correctly.

They measure the entire length of the tongs. I bought 25" and my hand gets wet using it in a 18" tank. I wish I'd known.

Thanks! Just saved me money and frustration.

the thing isn't designed well for saltwater. It starts to cramp up and mine broke in less than 6 months use. The stupid thing leaked water all over the place if you are not careful with that spout on the handle. Wasted money but what are our alternatives right?

I like the Eheim one, and it makes it into the bottom of my 90 gallon pretty good
