Sometimes it's helpful to have a handle or gripper to move or remove the pan from the oven. I've been using a set of groove joint pliers for this task.

They are somewhat suited to the task, but sometimes their grip and stability are poor. A friend made me aware of the existance of pan grippers.

The shape of the head is designed to grip the rim of sheet pans and the like in a more secure manner than pliers. At least that's the intent. Has anyone used these things? Do they work as advertised?
