I bought my premium tongs in 2013, and they've served me faithfully ever since grilling 12 months a year in the Northeast. They grip well, don't pierce the food, clean easily, and lock reliably. Unless Weber's changed them, I recommend them wholeheartedly
I bought this set of tongs to replace my older one's which have "teeth" that would pierce through the skins of my Italian sausages. this one the "teeth" are rounded and i have had no problems with them piercing anything. These are now my go to tongs. I have since retired my other ones to my neighbor. Good quality and no major issues i'm a happy cook.
I bought these for my husband and he loves them. He really likes that he can hang them on the grill and they automatically lock closed. Excellent feature!
