Very nice (2010-07-20)
Seems like they are nice i dont know if they are gonna hold up that long though
Outstanding Tongs (2010-06-09)
I have owned several tongs in the past and always found them dificult to handle foods with. This set seems to fit my hand perfectly and now I use them to handle all my foods with. They are made of great quality and will last a life time. I highly recommend them for the professional as well as the beginners.
Very nice (2010-05-08)
Perfect heavy duty tongs needed for grilling. They are very sturdy and are plenty long enough to keep you from getting burned. Excellent grip on the tips make sure there are no accidents.
Nice heavy-gage stainless steel tongs - weird shape (2009-11-13)
I decided to try these after being frustrated at the thin, wimpy tongs available at most stores.
As other have said these are very sturdy, made with a much thicker gage of stainless steel than usual. The should last a long, long time.
However, I wasn't happy with the shape of the tongs gripping surface. Too much of a 'vee' front to back and kinda flat at the back. If you try to pick up a burger or other meat from a grill, you'll puncture it with the tip before you get a good grip on it. (I don't know how Weber considers this shape to be optimal.)
As shipped, the tip is more of a 'pincer' than any other tong I've owned. Weber must think that it enhances grasping small objects like shrimp or asparagus, but I find the shape just plain wrong. The vee is so angled that only if you pick up something 5-6" across are the tips contacting all the way along the head. If you like to pick up burgers, steaks, and chicken by laying the tongs flat on the grill and pick thing up from the sides, these are your tongs. If you pick up things by sliding one tip under the food and gripping the top, these are simply the wrong shape.
After trying them, I went into my shop and put each tip over a 1 1/2" oak dowel for a mandrel and beat the tips into shape with a rubber mallet, patterning the shape after other tongs. I flattened the front to back angle to about 1/3 of the original and made each tip more concave as well so the back 'teeth' bite better. Now I can pick up a typical burger and steak with the tip contacting the whole length of the tong head, not just at the tip. Yet after modifying them, they still work good when 'side-gripping' as well, so I can't say I like Weber's design. At least they can be re-formed to ones own preference.
Strong tongs, could be better (2009-08-20)
This a good, sturdy set of tongs, good length and comfortable to hold. If I could change them, though, I would do something about the tips. In my opinion, they are bent inwards too much--you end picking things up w/ just the tips rather than the whole grabber, which can lead to torn meat. Weber should know better! Also, I think I prefer the sliding tong lock to this pull mechanism. Works fine now, but I worry that down the road it will get loose and start locking while I am using them; that would be very frustrating. But, so far so good.
