The turner is fine but the tongs don’t grip the chicken legs or thighs very well. The tongs use a locking mechanism that rocks back and forth instead of the traditional ones that lock when pulled out and open pushed in.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking your time to provide feedback on our Deluxe Tool set. We are glad that you are enjoying the spatula. We appreciate the criticism of the tongs and will forward this review to our research and development team regarding improvements for the future. Thank you for being a Weber fan!
Well made, and I like that the spatula is one piece rather than a head & handle. The tongs seem to work well and are easy enough to lock and unlock with one hand. Clearly that's a plus IMO.
Over the years I have purchased and have been given several cooking tools for my grille. They all had one thing in common, poor quality. Knowing the name Weber, I began looking on my Weber app and picked out a new set. I was not disappointed.
