Weber 18600 3-Piece Stainless-Steel Barbecue Tool Set Reviews

• Stainless steel....no stains or bacteria

  
  By A1NAL7KNU8PW8G on 2002-02-12
  If you're like me, when I am grilling - there is grease, oil and many other grilling sauces flying about that would ruin a wood handled tool during the first use. These stainless steel beauties will stand up to your biggest BBQ parties. They have a nice length to them which will keep your hands and arms clear of the BTUs. The thickness of the steel is guaranteed to last, you can feel the quality of these tools immediately.
  
  I purchased these because they matched the 2002 model of Weber Genesis Gold series, but they really would shine on any model or manufacturer.

  Easy cleanup in the dishwasher... and they come with a 10, yes TEN year guarantee!
  
  

• Robust tools; hard to clean

  Weber uses a heavy gauge steel for these tools, but the design includes some unfortunate folds in the metal which makes it VERY difficult to clean them. There are better tools on the market.
  
  

• Stainless Steel for Everyone

  With the trend towards everything stainless, it seemed a given that Weber would produce the Weber 18600 3-Piece Stainless Steel Tool Set. I happen to like the stainless steel look so I was drawn to these tools. They have a nice weight to them and are very functional. The handles feature a nice "dimpled" design and each sport a hanger that perfectly fits on the the Weber gas grill tool holder found on the side of my grill. The set includes a slotted spatula, tongs and a two tine fork.

  I would have appreciated some type of clasp to keep the tongs closed when not in use as they take up alot of space in a typical draw if you store them indoors.

  Otherwise I find little to fault in the set. They are a sound investment and are nice eye candy to go along with your grill.
  
  

• How can anyone rate this higher than a 2 ?

  
  By A2Z49AQKHGTS1M on 2004-10-29
  The only reason I gave it two stars is firstly it looks cool hanging on the grill and secondly it is stainless. Other than that I was dissapointed at how flimsy the tools are and utterly useless. Once I got over the wow factor and used the set I began to question why I bought them. I have since found myself usin my existing kitchen tools and leaving the Weber set hanging on the Weber grill.
  
  

• Manly tools for the grill

  
  By A1PYKERIMAI6TJ on 2003-05-17
  You could try to take over a small country with these grill tools if you wanted to! Heavy duty stainless construction makes you feel like you are working with something solid that will last forever! My only disappointment was how they washed up in the dishwasher. From here on out they will be washed by hand.
  
  
• Excellent quality
  By A3EY5WW6L1EDOE on 2003-12-08
  I've owned this set for over a year, and I can tell you these tools are strong and durable. They are large, easily handling larger cuts of meat. They look nice, feel nice, they've been left out in the rain for days with no problem. These tools will last forever.
  
  
• Large, durable, and easy to clean -- what more could you want?
  By A10X0JN8KTK89H on 2006-07-24
  I recommend this set of tools mostly for the size of the tools, durability, and ease of cleaning. They are rather stylish as well, if that matters to you. Along with Weber's 18-inch grill brush (you'll be sorry -- and singed -- if you get the short brush), you'll have all of the tools you need to grill.
  
  
• All I Can Say Is, "WOW!!!"
  By A7R9MBEPOBT95 on 2004-06-25
  End of message.

  Kidding. I was surprised at how BIG these tools are! They are gargantuan. They are at least 20" long, and they are very wide and very heavy. I could turn over a Volkswagen with the spatula!

  As others have written, I like the all-steel construction. This makes them easy to clean and keep sanitary.

  I am ordering another set because once my family lays their eyes on these tools, they'll steal them!
  
  

• amazing helpful!
  By AD2BA5ALDT24U on 2005-09-03
  I love these tools, and use them all the time in cooking. They are super easy to clean up, go in the dish washer, are steady to hold, and don't get hot. Great price, good quality.
  
  At first I thought they were too long, but working with them for a while I see the advantage of keeping your arms away from fire!
  
  highly recommended. can't go wrong.
  
  
• Stainless and flawless
  By A3EZ4E5FO36DTT on 2004-11-22
  I was very impressed when I first received the items. I thought they may have been a little pricey but they turned out to be terrific. They are much more sturdy than the cheaper models and are easy to clean.
  
  
• Great accessory!
  By A1P8TSQPC8SZMR on 2006-07-05
  What BBQ'r wouldn't want an accessory like this? Attached to the kettle is brilliant!
  
  
• A mistake that turned out great!
  By A3U41ZL33SS92P on 2006-08-27
  I ordered this set without looking close enough to see that it wasn't the similar Weber Style "professional" tool set.
  
  As it turned out, I liked this set MUCH more, and never would have known about it, as none of the local stores seem to carry it.
  
  The tools are big and heavy, which may sound daunting, but takes only a few minutes to get used to. Every piece screams "quality", and they all fit perfectly on the hooks of the Weber Genesis Silver series (which isn't very common with other tools I've used).
  
  
• Well-constructed set
  By A1MJMYLRTZ76ZX on 2003-06-21
  This heavy-duty, stainless steel set consists of tongs, a fork, and a turner. They're so sturdily constructed you could use them as exotic martial arts weapons. In fact, I'm working up a cool tong and fork kata right now. The turner doubles as an S & M flail for those into kinky stuff. Enjoy!
  
  
• Wow...who could ask for anything more
  By AMXCSCV4NHHJQ on 2006-11-10
  I bought these tools after throwing out all the old wood handled ones I owned...you know the ones that weren't really quite long enough to keep from frying your arm along with the meat. These new tools are spectactular in design and look like they are meant to last longer than their owner. Especially like the flat tongs...clean up is very easy and the handles stay cool....the only little downside...I do not choose to leave the tools out with the barbeque so because of their size they are a bit hard to store...but I found a place....
  
  
• Gigantic Set
  By A2SVWP84WIQV4S on 2007-03-30
  These are good quality, but way too big to use with a small BBQ.
  
  
• Functional and Bling
  By A21IJPICJ44PZ3 on 2004-08-17
  This set is all you need; well a brush is also a must. The construction is excellent and I find cleaning a breeze. When ever I have people over for a cook-out they take notice in these. They have a noticeable bling factor. Maybe I should invest in a jewelry cleaner....J/K
  
  
• great product
  By A1XR3V76NR9A2J on 2005-05-19
  the product received was better than described. The rolls royce of BBQ tools and a good price too
  
  
• Barbecue Set
  By A2LXIHQKJCW7DT on 2007-05-11
  Good value for the price.. Really like the long handles.. If you are "thinkin" buy it!!!!
  
  
• Nice tools - and rather longer than you'd expect
  By A398IY8CVAAOHL on 2005-08-05
  Nothing to argue with - they look nice, the tongs feel nice when you clamp them together, and the fork is handy to keep under your bed in case of intruders. If you want to hang them off your Weber grill you will need Weber's little tool rack which is only a couple of bucks on amazon and mighty fine.
  
  
• good BIG tools
  By A164KP4X1UTYH2 on 2005-08-08
  Well made tools. Before buying, check the size: this are BIG TOOLS (20' long!).
  
  
• Modern Looking
  By A1B7YCIVY0HN82 on 2007-01-05
  If you own a Weber Grill, I would definitley recommend you to buy this product, it looks awesome hanging on the kitchen, and they very resistant.
  
  
• Well made and sturdy
  By A3KOAIRG0CC0NR on 2007-03-05
  This is the best set of grilling utensils I've ever owned. They're well-made, sturdy, and long enough to keep me from getting burned by the grill. These are well worth the purchase price.
  
  
• Cool tools
  By A2WW6PUV8U6TI5 on 2007-05-07
  These tools are functional and are priced competitively with those of big box stores. The tongs work well arranging the hot briquets without cooking fingers.
  
  
• Excellent
  By AK2DIMU4AG8W0 on 2007-06-13
  Again, Weber quality is the best. pricey but good...
  
  
• Excellent Product!
  By A13CAVPI1LH5EK on 2007-07-22
  I bought this barbecue tool set for my son in law and he just LOVES it! It's very attractive and sleek...perfect for those yuppies who want all the latest and greatest. It's a brand name I trusted and I think it was a heck of a deal for the money.
  
  
• perfect
  By A2DS32VZPT2CHL on 2007-09-08
  This set has a great weight and feel to them. Very long which is what I wanted. Have used them this summer and they look as new and good as the day I got them.
  
  
• Quality
  By A2XIB9GZR27H2N on 2007-11-03
  Weber did well.
  I also odered the rack to hang them.
  Tip: Squeezing the the clips a tad
  will secure youe tool rack better.

  These are great tools. My husband hasn't burnt off any more arm hair thanks to these! :)
  
  
• Grill Master's Tools
  By A1PXOVIVN166E4 on 2007-12-02
  For any guy who is starting to get serious with grilling, these are great tools.
  
  
• Great tools.
  By AC8X3M73TJ02I on 2008-01-26
  The tools are great. I'm happy with the purchase. There haven't been many uses for the fork. Sometimes, I lose the grip on the food with the tongs and it would be helpfull if they had some rounded teeth on the end to help with the grip on the food. I'm sure I'll have these tools for a long time.
