I was skeptical. Most tool "sets" come with small, flimsy, tools that are barely worth the price of the box they come in. But the spatula, tongs, and brush in this tool set are worth the price alone. They are big and shiny and work. I like how the handles are stainless steel, but built in a way that doesn't transfer the heat.

Bonuses:
Multi-use spatula also includes bottle opener in handle. (because it's bad luck to grill without beer)
Silicone brush is washable without getting nasty from marinade.

Minuses:
The knife arrived pretty dull, but nothing a cheap sharpener couldn't fix.
The over-sized fork is actually pretty nice, but we all know you are not supposed to poke your food while grilling.

Eh:
The skewers and corn holders and nice, but nothing exciting.

Overall: Get this tool set!

I bought this item for my husband. He loves it! He said the handles are long enough so he doesn't feel the heat from the grill and the spatula lets him easily get the burgers off the grill to flip.

This BBQ set is well done (no pun intended).

I've had one for a while now and I have used it in both the harsh climate of West Africa and the frigid cold of Central Europe. It holds up. Well, the case doesn't hold up so well... After a few years it's beginning to fall apart. But the main pieces, the pieces that you're really going to use over and over again when you're cooking meat on the open grill, hold up very well.

We had a bad habit of leaving them outside when we lived in Africa and never once was corrosion a problem. Seeing as how everything else metal we had rusted through, this alone was a testament. The grill scraper is very efficient and we still haven't had the need to install the supplied spare that comes with the set.

I would probably pay $20 for the spatula alone. I really like the side that you can use to cut the meat while it's on the grill. The tongs are pretty heavy duty as well and the fork has been used to hold up a few large pieces of meat from time to time and never threaten to bend.

Overall I like the way the pieces feel - very solid. I like the way they look - very classy. And I like the way that they last - Very durable.

The only disappointment is the price - If I had the ability, I'd wait until a summer BBQ sale to get one, but even at it's list price, I would buy another one if I had to. Thankfully, so far I haven't had to.

This is a nice high quality BBQ set. The tools are quite heavy and have great reach. The 18 piece tool set contains the following:

4 in 1 Spatula
Fork
Silicone Basting Brush
Tongs
Knife
8 Corn Skewers
4 Skewers
Aluminum Case (counts as 1 of the 18)

The tools are dishwaser safe, with a mirror polished finish which prevents rust and corrosion. Makes a great gift!

I got this for my father for Fathers Day and when he opened, one of the handles of the skewers was already broken off. We used them for the 4th of July for the first time and alllll of the skewers handles just fell apart. All of the handles are built the same way, so they all fell apart as soon as they went anywhere near heat.

Also, the corn holders all fell apart IN the corn. Someone could have stabbed their mouth on it! We will be returning this ASAP for all of our money back, and probably never buying anything again from Mr. BBQ.

After reading the glowing reviews here, I purchased several of these as gifts. When they arrived, though, the handle was already broken off of one of them. Upon closer inspection, the black you see on the outside of the case is a thin plastic that's glued (poorly) to the actual case. It was bubbling and peeling off, so I decided to return the whole lot. It just didn't look like quality "gift" material from the outside. I can't speak to the tools themselves, though. If you ditch the case, the tools may be quite nice as other reviewers have suggested.

Arrived fast but damaged. The pieces on the inside were not very secure. The corn holders were bent, especially the small ones. The case was damaged and I just was not pleased. This is probably the only thing I have ever bought from amazon that was messed up.

The box was shipped with no padding, so the spiffy case was all bent out of shape. The whole idea of getting this set is having a nice, neat place to put your BBQ utensils. Now I have a beat-up piece of crap where I can store my nice utensils.

I bought this for my father in law for fathers day and I know he loves to cook out. He absolutely loves this gift! He was a very happy Daddy!!

The lower rating is for the very slow service. The product is nice; it was a gift, but wasn't sure it wasn't going to arrive in time. As it was, it was late for Christmas. Not good!
