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

Excellent sturdy quality and it works! We found my dogs harassing a venomous Copperhead. My boyfriend was able to easily grab the snake and place him into a large plastic tote. The grabber was very effective and the length was long enough to keep him safe. Snake was set free in a wooded area. And my yard is safer for my dogs. I love all animals and never want to hurt them but I do have to keep my yard safe for my own pets and myself. There aren't many options out there to humanely catch and release snakes but this does the job.

Awesome easy to grab snakes and remove them.

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

Good product for the price. It also comes with one extra replacement cable. The video speaks for itself. the haws are redonkalous strong. And If wanted it can easily be shortened up with a couple of basic hand tools you got lying around. I did put self adhesive bandage around the handle and the end of the cable by the handle for comfort. You will see what I mean but a good product doing what it’s advertised and intended to do plus more even with this particular product. Hope this helps someone

I purchased this extra long snake stick because we get some large Diamondback Rattlesnakes here in West Texas. I wanted an additional safety edge provided by the longer length of this unit. I had two Rattlers in my back yard just before purchasing this unit but I have not had any since obtaining these tongs, yet. I have practiced using it on rubber snakes and I am convinced that it will work very well on an actual rattlesnake. The jaws on the stick work very smoothly and are also easy to operate. The stainless steel main cylindrical staff is very rigid and durable with extra thickness walls. I am most confident that it will work well on the larger snakes and keep me a safer distance from their heads. As a fringe benefit it came with an extra cable and spring.

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.

Sturdy great length gets the job done. Happy with this purchase

I've been having unwanted black snakes invading my bed loft at my lake house, curling up in the bed like they own the place (inside the covers), slithering down from the loft into the outdoor kitchen when guests are there eating, including the mother of all snakes, an 8-footer, and I have had it with them. I went up into the bed loft last week to get bedding and cushions out of the plastic tubs where I store them for the winter, and sure enough, there was a big black snake behind a tub. It slithered out of reach behind a ceiling joist next to a rafter and curled up there, probably laughing in some snake-like manner. Until I got out the snake tongs. I grabbed that snake so fast, carried it down the ladder, took it outside, grabbed my machete on the way out, and no more snake. I cannot wait until my next snake encounter. I'm going to clean them all out. Maybe when I get the mother of all snakes I'll post a photo. I bought two of these snake grabbers: one for my shop and one for my lake house. I have snake issues being in a wooded area. The snake tongs are just the right tool to have if you want to get rid of snakes. UPDATE: Caught one yesterday (see photo) and one the day before, almost as big. Plus another big one about a week ago, all in my lake house picnic shelter. They've all gone to heaven.
