PigTail Flipper

I don't know what brand but I have a couple and I use them often, as mentioned above the juice loss is minimal.

Tongs here as well. I strongly dislike the hinged tongs tho from 20+ years of restaurant and commercial experience have pinched my hand one time too many and now only buy these...http://www.webstaurantstore.com/vol...tong-with-black-coated-handle/9224781620.html
No more pinching and love the coated handles. The other brands are ok as well but have learned its best to spend the extra $3 or so up front for vollrath...

I have both tongs and pigtails, use both, and like both.

D&D BBQ said:
Yup, that's what I saw teams doing on Pitmasters so that was the primary reason I bought them (in addition to the review on amazingribs.com where he mentions the loss of moisture is negligible). I also found that using them with steaks, tri-tip, etc. is good so I don't lose rub (always thought it was such a waste to see tongs covered in seasoning at the end of a cook).

The loss of rub/sauce is one of my reasons. Lots of folks like the tongs of which I have 5 pairs. Thanks for all the feedback brethren.

I have a pig tail. I like to use it to dip chicken pieces into sauce. Otherwise, I use tongs and quite honestly I put gloves on my hands and use those too.

I've been using pig tail flippers for years and really like how they work.

I love my pig tails. I can't say I have had meat juice gushing out from the tiny hole it puts in the meat.

Great for flipping steaks, chops and chicken pieces.
