Weber 6610 Original Tongs


Mediocre tongs, big let-down for the price
I got these tongs in the set of Weber tools and they are my least favorite tool. I had high hopes for them but am not pleased overall.

Pros:
-Good steel
-Comfortable handle
-Ability to lock closed is nice

Cons:
-Spring steel to hold tongs open is unimpressive. After just a month or so of use they are already starting to stick closed
-Both grips curve inward. This is to improve the tongs' grip which would be perfect for fry pan tongs if all you were moving were chicken pieces you can grip anywhere but on a grill you need at least one of those to be flat so they can slide under food that you want to pick up. If you want to move a few racks of ribs, for instance, you will probably need to lift them with a spatula so you can grip them with these tongs. A better considered design for grilling would have one side flat so you could slide under food then grip them

These are not bad tongs but it's such a simple tool that not being...
Great Tongs
Weber has always made great products and these tongs are no exception. Cooking with tools that are well made of high-quality materials doubles the pleasure.
Great BBQ Tool
Perfect. When BBQing and picking up meat they actually do the job instead of the meat slipping through the tongs.
