These tools don't actually lock in place. They lock open, but 'open' means they have a few milimeters of play between the locking mechanism and the backstop of the handle. That means that when locked open, the end of the tool wiggles separate from the handle. While they look neat, and do take up less space, they are pretty poor at fulfilling their actual purpose. Wiggling tools that don't go exactly where you need them to go is almost worse than no grill tools at all.

You might as well just use a fork and a pocket knife.

We bought these for my brother in law for Christmas and when my husband saw them, he had to have them. So I bought them for my husband for Valentine's Day. They are fantastic and because they are retractable, they don't take up nearly the cabinet space that bbq tools normally do! Awesome!

The picture suggests to the casual observer that there are 6 pieces to this set. There are only 3. The picture shows them folded and open, not a short and long set.

This set seems quite sturdy and the fact that they fold for easy storage is a big plus in my book. They also have a metal loop for hanging, if you wish to do that.

This is NOT a small sized set for traveling. They are normal sized, with the exception of the wire brush, which is a bit small.

I've only just got them, so I'll try to update this review after using and traveling with them for a time.

Nice starter grill set folds so great for travel cookout. Cleans easy and the handles are very secure not loose like I had worried. Easy to clean but the brush wears out quickly.

I just recently finally got a BBQ again and needed some basic equipment. I found that these tools did the job for me quite well. They are sturdy and can be reduced in size which helps with storing them!
