Aqua tongs/reaching tool
 
Hey guys, does anyone have any recommendations for a reaching tool/ tongs that work well, and if so where to buy them?

I have a 38" tall tank and want to be ably to move around coral and live rock.

I bought the Pit stick ones and they broke after the first use, and yes I did wash them out!

Its hard finding a good quality one that ships to Canada

I am considering these ones

I buy mine from Dollar Giant. Work great. Far better than the really expensive ones made for aquariums but using metal wires. These use plastic wires.
