I bought this for my grown daughter who loves to BBQ. She had been looking for a double-spatula for gripping and flipping items on the grill. This looked like a perfect solution. But it was built for large, strong hands, and she isn't able to use it at all. The quality probably deserves 4 or 5 stars, but the designers definitely didn't have women in mind with this utensil.

I had been looking for a set of tongs like this for a while now. My parents used to have a set like this, with a spatula on one side and the tong on the other, and it gave the griller far more control over flipping cooking items. One of the great things about it was that it could handle a wide variety of foods, from your standard burger patties to smaller items like vegetables.

This set, however, gives zero control over those smaller items. They are only good for large, flat items. The main problem is that the tong portion, for whatever reason, doesn't extend to the end of the spatula. So forget about picking asparagus up. I also don't like the large angle at which the spatula and the tong come together. I'd prefer if they came together flatter than they do.

Anyway, I haven't been able to find my parents' tongs, so this is the best I'm going to do for now. I'm just not happy with them.

My fiancee had a similar product that was falling apart and wanted to try to find another one. This was all I could find in my search. I think it's awesome and replaces several grilling implements. He thought it was too much fluff......:p

This is wonderful! It is very heavy duty, comes with a clear plastic reusable cover for the spatula/cutting side. It made flipping burgers and brats much easier! This is large & very well constructed, I do not think it would work well for smaller items unless you just want to use it as a spatula and not use the gripping portion. I would definitely recommend this!!!

This spatula is the best ever! The fact that it is a pair of tongs, a spatula AND a bottle opener speaks for itself :) I use it every time I grill, and it is fantastic!

Was given as a gift to a friend and seems to be just what was needed.
