The tool holder works perfect on my grill. I saw a lot of reviews complaining about how the thing will fall off or it will prevent the lid from sealing. I see how this can be true, however if you can spare about 3 minutes and have ordinary pliers ready that can be solved.

I put the holder on the grill, bent the prongs around the lip of it and have had no problems since. It doesn't move, slide, or fall off and the bent prongs allow the top to close with ease. I don't even have a weber grill, I own a char-broil. If you seriously don't have the capacity to bend a little bit of metal then don't buy it. For the rest of you spened the 4 dollars.

Now that I finally bought my new Weber grill (One-Touch Silver) and some new Weber tools, I needed something to hold them. I didn't want to hang them on one of my other crappy grills, so I went ahead and bought this handy tool holder.

Now, I have read previous reviews on this and people have said that they couldn't get their lid to close, or that the tool holder would fall off. Well, it doesn't take much creativity to realize that you can pinch the tool holder onto your grill with a simple set of pliers. This will take care of both problems.

I highly recommend this simple-yet-handy gadget to anyone with a Weber One-Touch grill (except for maybe the One-Touch Platinum, since it has everything you need). It is very easy to use, your lid will still close and you grill-cover will still fit =)

I had no problem with this tool holder. I put it on once and it's still hangin' in there. It makes it very convienient to reach for what you need while grillin'. However, if you do find that it comes off when you take the top off, just pinch it tight with a pair of pliers! Happy grillin' people!!!

This is a handy gadget if you own a Kettle without a table. The clips are a little light and wimpy for my liking.

Solid construction, can be installed and removed easily. If you have large tools you may find the hooks are close together and the tools may overlap. Also due to the proximity with the barbecue the tools can warm up as well. Although these are not really the fault of the holder just the setup of the barbecue itself.

I took a chance and ordered this. And it fits my Char-Broil Patio Caddie grill wonderfully!

Would likely fit any round 18-22" grill. Just insert over edge of grill (I clamped it down a bit with pliers for tighter fit), and grill lid still fits over it nicely.

Now, I might buy another one. If you need more than 4 hooks, use two. One on left side and one on right.

The holder gets in the way of the lid's lip when you try to put the lid back on - as a result the lid no longer slips into place with this holder attached. Also, the holder doesn't clip onto the kettle's edge too snugly (when you do finally get the lid pushed into place) so the holder can easily become dislodged by picking up the lid. Otherwise, it does what it's supposed to do.

(It's obvious the original engineers who created the grill didn't have this accessory in mind in the final design!)

I purchased this item after reading the reviews that appear here. Several people mentioned that the tool holder would fall off if you removed the lid; another mentioned that heat from the grill had made the hooks bend out of shape. My solution was to purchase the Weber Condiment Holder and hang the tool holder on the outside of that rack. Problems solved!! My utensils are close at hand and there is no risk of getting burned by touching the outside of the grill.

Clips right onto the rim of the lower kettle half, well-made, really handy, you NEED one of these! Possibly TWO of these!!!

The idea here is nice - a little rack to hang your tongs and stuff on. However, the execution is bad, and it's just as easy to put tongs and things on the ground near the smoker.

Problems:

1. It's very hard to make the lid sit tightly with this in place. That results in loss of smoke and heat.

2. The rack doesn't stay on well. So when I pulled my tongs off, the whole rack came with them.

3. Storing tools that close to a hot surface is prone to singed fingers.

I plan on getting a little table to keep near my smoker, to hold tools, spare wood chips, thermometers, etc. That'll be more useful than this holder.
