Expert Review and Insights
Right out of the box, the Olympia DR627 tongs feel balanced and well-made. The gunmetal finish is the real star here; it’s less clinical than standard stainless steel and does a brilliant job of hiding fingerprints during a frantic service. The grip is firm and confident, making them a genuinely practical upgrade for any professional bar setup that cares about its image.

- Con: Some internal plastic components may feel less premium than an all-metal build.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Copper Key', a speakeasy-style bar in Bristol, wanted to upgrade their barware to match a recent refurbishment that featured dark wood and industrial-chic metalwork. They needed tools that were not only functional for their high-volume service but also contributed to the carefully curated atmosphere.
"Our customers notice everything, right down to the tools we use. The Olympia tongs fit our aesthetic perfectly. They look fantastic, and the grip is so much better than our old ones. No more chasing ice cubes around the bucket. It’s a small change that has made a big difference to our workflow and presentation."
Leo Carter – Head Mixologist
The upgrade resulted in a smoother, faster bar service and a noticeable increase in positive customer comments about the bar's overall professional look and feel.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, give the tongs a quick wash with warm, soapy water.
- Although dishwasher safe, a hand rinse before first use is always good practice.
- Place them in your ice well or alongside your ice bucket, ready for action.
- There's no assembly required – they're ready to use straight out of the packet.
Keeping It Going
- For best results, pop them in the dishwasher at the end of a shift for thorough cleaning.
- Hand-dry the tongs after washing to prevent water spots and maintain the pristine gunmetal finish.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, which could damage the coating over time.
- Periodically check that the pivot is clean and moves freely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the Olympia DR627 ice tongs made from?
A: They are made from durable stainless steel, which is then coated with a stylish and hard-wearing gunmetal PVD finish.
Q: How long are these tongs?
A: They measure 160mm (or 16cm) in length, an ideal size for precise control over ice cubes.
Q: Is the gunmetal finish durable?
A: Yes, the PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating is designed for commercial use. To maintain it, avoid using abrasive cleaning pads.
Q: Are they heavy to use?
A: Not at all. They weigh just 60 grams, making them very lightweight and comfortable to use repeatedly during a shift.
Q: Can these be used for things other than ice?
A: Absolutely. They are also great for handling larger garnishes like orange wheels or pineapple wedges cleanly and professionally.
Q: Are the tips sharp?
A: The jaws are serrated for grip, not sharp. They are designed to hold ice securely without breaking or chipping it.
Q: Will they rust?
A: As they are made from stainless steel, they are highly resistant to rust, especially when cleaned and dried properly after use.
Q: What does 'Internal Material: Plastic' refer to?
A: This likely refers to a small, non-visible component in the pivot mechanism, such as a washer or spacer, designed to ensure a smooth opening and closing action.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy Serrated Jaws Mean a Cleaner Service
Ever tried to pick up a wet ice cube with smooth metal tongs? It’s a bit like trying to grab a fish with your bare hands – slippery and unpredictable. That's where 'serrated jaws' make all the difference. Think of the tiny teeth on these tongs like the tread on a car tyre in the rain. They create multiple points of contact that bite into the ice, channelling away the surface moisture and locking on for a secure grip. This means you can move quickly and confidently, transferring ice from the bucket to the glass without any embarrassing drops, splashes, or fumbling. It’s a simple bit of engineering that leads to a faster, cleaner, and far more professional service.
