We've owned one too many grill tool sets. The ones I remember are: a gigantic wooden set where the tools were heavy, awkward, and the wood was rotting and worn. The 2nd set was worse: we got metal but it had so many joints that recently it fell apart while grilling! So I was in the market for a good brand, all metal SOLID construction (no seams), dishwasher safe, and lastly and least important attractive isn't bad. I searched local stores and they had so little stock, mostly wood sets which I wanted to avoid.

I was impressed when I opened the Amazon box. Quality thick metal, attractive, looked long & large and perfect for hot grills. My husband's very impressed and said grilling with them was 'perfect'. You can't see it in the picture very well but there's a non-slip coating on the bottom of each tool, which is nice (as long as it doesn't fall apart.) We washed the set in the dishwasher already (on top rack) and they turned out brand new looking. The only thing you need to add to this set is a grill brush for cleaning.

I was torn between this set and the All-Clad set. Obviously the All-Clad is over triple the price so I went with this set and was pleased. If for some reason this set dies prematurely, I will be forced to buy the All-Clad as I am sick of rebuying the same thing. But thankfully, for now, I didn't have to & saved money. I love the quality!

This is my first Weber product and I must say I am thrilled. If my grill dies I will most likely buy a Weber.

Try this set out; I bet you'll be pleased.

Update: 6 months later, the set's holding up beautiful and cleans up nicely in dishwasher. A great purchase.

Update: 1 year later, looks just as it did when it was new! Buy this one.

Update: 2 years later: Just like the 1 year review, this is the set to buy, perfect even 2 years later!

I have used lots of different types of bbq tools and these by far are the best. The tongs are really where it is at, the other tools don't really matter as much. Some tongs aren't spring loaded unlike these which are and don't open very far, maybe far enough to grab a chicken leg, but that is it. These tongs will open to the width of a pork chop and the thing that I like most is the actual gripping surface, the jaws are nice and smooth so they will not tear skin! If your thinking that this set is too expensive at least buy the tongs individually, well worth it. I used to think that anything that had the Weber logo was just expensive because of the brand, but the more I use their stuff, the more I can justify the price tag.

I take great pride in my Weber Genesis Silver grill. It treats me well and I enjoy the Weber name and quality ... so I decided to splurge on the Weber grill tool set. They are awesome. They are weighty, ergonomic and durable. Worth every penny whether you grill on a Weber or not.

I highly recommend this set!

I grill a lot. When I got married, one of the gifts received was a grill tools set from a well-known high-end cooking shop (I don't know if Amazon wants other companies mentioned by name). They are beautiful, work well, but they have rosewood handles, that while pretty and functional mean you can't leave them outside and the dishwasher is off-limits. I've always admired people that clean up immediately after eating and entertaining but try as I might, I will never be one of them. I would love to leave my tongs hanging off the side of the grill until I'm good and ready to clean up and put stuff away- usually the next morning as I tend to enjoy many adult beverages while preparing said BBQ feasts! I came to dread pulling out my very pretty BBQ tools because I knew it meant I'd be washing them in the sink and I can't tell you how much I hate that. When I switched from cooking on a gasser to using charcoal and wood, I began cooking on the grill more and more. And I started hating my grill tools more and more. When I saw these, they looked like it would be the answer I needed. They are solid. They feel good in the hand. The tongs open widely, are spring-loaded and have a lock on them to lock closed. The spatula has a beveled leading edge which makes it easier to slide under your burgers. The fork is a fork, don't know anyone that actually uses these but whatever, it's included. All three have hooks to hang them on things and rubber where your hand grips the tool. And they are DISHWASHER-SAFE. Yeah, boy, I love these things. Toss them in the dishwasher when you are done and they look as good as they did the day you bought them. I guess they are relatively expensive but I've never minded paying for quality and I feel they are worth what they cost. They should last a good long time and expect to use these for many years.

Anybody who does outdoor cooking can tell you there are three specific things they need in a set of grill tools. First, it has to be heavy duty enough to handle a big piece of meat without bending. Second, it can't rust if you forget it outside overnight. Third, no plastic trim that is going to melt in the fire. Right there, 90% of the sets marketed as Father's Day bargains fall short.

I expected much more from Weber as a three-time owner (Genesis, bullet smoker and Smoky Joe). And these tools are a big disappointment. The design overpowers the function. They're great if you are a collector of Danish Modern but otherwise they are awkward to use and not really thought out. The tines of the fork can be bent with your fingers... not good. The tongs lack a clasp to keep them shut when they're not in use. Worst of all, the overall balance is off. They don't have that comfortable heft when you are using them and when you hang them on the pegs on the side of your Genesis the slightest jostle knocks them to the ground.

The day after I first used these I was in a big box store and saw a set from K*ngsford at half the price. Wish I'd bought those instead.

Easy to handle and love that it is dishwasher safer. The tongs are the best I have ever used. I dont know why I waited

One of the reviewers of these barbeque tongs said that it was too bad that they do not lock but they do! If you push down on the handle they lock. It's just a different mechanism than the usual locking tongs. I'm very pleased.

Purchased the spatula, fork, tongs for use with a Weber gas grill. They are a high quality stainless material. Adequate length. Nicely weighted. Convenient hooks on the end to hang on or near your grill. Worth the extra money (roughly $10-15) compared to utensils found at Lowe's or Home Depot as I anticipate these will hold up for years.

This Weber set did not disappoint me.

I've had many different barbeque utensil sets in the past, none of which meet the quality of this set. While other sets came with many different tools and carrying case, they were all flimsy and easily flexed under the weight of a steak, roast, etc.

These tools are solidly-built, strong and durable. I've been using them for the past month and don't have a complaint about them. While there's no storage case, that's not a big deal - I store them in a kitchen cupboard.

I'll take the durability of these tools over gimmicky kits with more tools than I really need.

I gave this BBQ set as a gift to my 78 year old father-in-law since his current tools consisted of a short handled pancake turner and a currently missing old meat fork. I received a phone call from him upon their arrival and to quote him "I'm please as punch with these beautiful, shiny tools. I almost hate to use them but you can bet I will. Now, I have to have someone make me a nice wooden box to put them in". He says they work as good as they look and that's a tall compliment coming from him. Now, I just have to figure out a way to get invited for a BBQ. A quality product for a fair price, does it get any better?
