47" Extra Heavy Duty Snake Tongs Reptile Grabber Catcher Wide Jaw Handling Tool

I've not had to use it yet but it looks sturdy and feels like it would work really well i'm very satisfied

Must have when raising chickens.. we have an elaborate chicken coop. And keep the area as spotless and mowed as possible...still have the occasional friend show up and scare the snot out of us. This is a strong and well made snake thingy that helps relocate chicken snakes down the road. Get one or two.

These are so awesome - I hated I had to order them - but they work GREAT and no need being close or as much fear - we just needed for nonpoisonous large snakes - moving them to trap and relocating

We live in the desert southwest and after seeing several snakes in our backyard I figured I should get something to deal with them.This snake pole is exactly as described in the description. For me personally, this product's best feature also tends to be my one sticking point with it.I love the length of the pole (in the fact that it keeps you away from the snake). The problem here is not so much with the product but with physics. If you are picking up a bigger snake, because the snake is so far away from you on the end of the pole, its fairly heavy and makes moving the snake (once caught) more difficult. I found that I needed to use a second hand on the pole, not handle, to control it (thus bringing my second hand closer to the snake). In the end however I was able to get the snake in the bucket, just didn't expect the above issue.The product works as described, just be aware of the above. Overall im glad I bought it.

I have used the 47 inch (1.2 m) snake tongs/grabber on several 3 to 5 foot (0.9 to 1.5 m) constrictors and on another 4 foot (1.2 m) rattlesnake, but bought this longer version because I wanted to see if the longer reach was beneficial. It certainly is.It was great having the extra few inches between the rattlesnake and myself. 52 inches (1.3 m) is fairly long, and so might be a bit awkward for shorter people or people with shorter arms, but I can't say for certain. My wife, who is 5'6" (1.7 m), didn't want to try using the tongs/grabber. Or depending on the size/weight of the snake, it might require someone to steady it with their other hand, but I'm 6'2" (1.9 m) and it wasn't a giant snake so it worked fine one-handed for me.It is all stainless steel and seems very sturdy and well-built while still being lightweight. The handle has a rubber sleeve for a good grip. The cable and spring seem very strong and durable. It also came with an extra cable, ferrules, and spring. It DOES NOT LOCK. The only thing keeping the snake held is you squeezing the trigger. The description does not say that it locks, but people often ask or just assume that they lock.I would definitely recommend the 52 inch snake tongs/grabber, but the 47 inch version is equally well made and worked great as well.

Awesome product, very pleased

Seems pretty well built. Haven't see a snake to test it out yet, but it feels like it should get the job done.

Well made and all metal also comes with extra replacement parts. It has a real strong grin, it should hold snakes with no problem.
