I have used many different kinds of BBQ tools in my quest to find the perfect ones. I think my journey has ended. These OXO tools are the perfect combination of ease of use and sturdy construction. When you first use them, you get the sense you will have them forever.

I have now used then for about a month. If anyone wants my old collection of tools let me know. These are all I need.

I always recommend the OXO line of tools to anyone that does a lot of cooking and wants something really designed for use. This is especially true for anyone with problems such as tendonitis, arthritis, or carpal tunnel -- these tools are all designed to leverage energy efficiently instead of wasting energy as most poorly designed utensils. Try them out!

The OXO line of cooking supplies is always a sure bet. If you want to look stylin' while you are out BBQ'in, this is a utensil set that won't let you down. The stainless steel was strong, and sturdy - it cut right through a whole chicken and held it sturdy so I could transfer it from the BBQ to the plate. Great set, I highly reccommend!

If you buy all three of these items individually from Amazon.com they cost $11.50 LESS than buying them in this set!

Other than that, I highly recomend these. I grill several times a week and these have been put to good use with no complaints.

As mentioned on their individual product page, the tongs in this set are not particularly useful, at least for my average-sized hands. The handle is too long, so to grab things you have to grip closer down on the handle, which means your hand ends up closer to the grill flame. There also didn't seem to be much "give" in the tongs' hinge, which made gripping food difficult. I've never had a problem with Oxo tools before, but I abandoned these in favor of my old kitchen tongs.

The other tools in the set seem fine, however. Perhaps it's better to buy individually.

I've been very pleased with this set of BBQ tools. They are comfortable to use and long enough to keep me away from the flame/heat but not so long they feel unwieldy. They have a solid feel with comfortable grips (especially for someone with smaller hands - eg, most women), they are easy to wash, and stand up to lots of use (we grill year-round). I would buy this set again. It is a big improvement over my last set.
