A handsome present for the gourmet griller, this five-piece barbecue tool set from Mr. Bar-B-Q features professional-grade oversized tools in a hand-crafted wooden case. The collection includes a pair of tongs, spatula, knife, a meat fork, and a basting brush. All pieces are heavy to the hand and fitted with good-looking, rounded rosewood handles. The working ends of each tool are forged stainless steel with a full-tang construction--the metal piece runs all the way down the handle shaft--to ensure durability.
Other individual features that deserve special mention include the spatulas three working sides for flipping, testing, and scraping, and a handle ending in a built-in bottle opener. The basting brush has a 1-1/2-inch span of sturdy yet flexible bristles, while tongs feature gripping tines perfect for small pieces of chicken or grilled vegetables. All tools include holes for hanging storage, and securely fit into individual, Velcro-secured slots in the case. The set should be washed by hand for best results. Mr. Bar-B-Q includes a lifetime limited warranty.
