Yeah, they are pretty strong.
I use the tongs like most everyone else.
I don't care for the rope method at all except
for a JIC emergency measure.
FWIW I made my own tongs with a little bit
longer handles than the store bought ones
found around here.
If you don't already have one, you ought to
consider picking up one of the little spring
loaded safety devices they sell for about $5.00
It'll sure save your rear if you fire one on your
hand accidentally even if you have tongs or a
rope or whatever. I use one for all of my BG's
except for 110's
Got any links to the safety device?
