The Mano Barbecue Tongs from Carl Mertens are a special barbecue tool for professional and enthusiastic grill-masters. With the ergonomic handle, the tool lays pleasantly in the hand and keeps enough distance to the glowing coal with a length of 36 cm.

Axel Wowereit has designed the Tongs as part of his Mano Grill collection. Carl Mertens produces the practical cooking aid out of high quality 18/10 stainless steel directly in Solingen. The Mano Barbecue Tongs were honoured with the Design Award of the Federal Republic Germany as well as with the Design Plus Award because of its visual qualities and the sophisticated manufacture.
