Better tongs recommendation?

I've used 10 inch hemostats for the last 20 years. I don't grind the teeth off, I just kind of contort the angle with my grip so they don't lock. Back when I used to work at the reptile store here in town, we used to keep all the cage keys on a key ring and hook that through the hemostat finger hole, so that's another habit I've held on to.
