The consensus

What reviewers found

Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.

Across the reviewers we read, OXO's turner-and-tongs set earns some of the warmest community praise for a compact kit. High-trust r/grilling commenters call the OXO Good Grips 16-inch locking tongs 'far and away the best grill tongs I've used,' and verified-purchase reviewers at target.com and oxo.com highlight comfortable handling, sturdy construction, dishwasher-safe cleanup and a lifetime warranty. The double-bend turner is noted for sliding cleanly under burgers.

What reviewers liked

  • High-trust r/grilling threads repeatedly rate the OXO locking tongs among the best available
  • Verified-purchase reviewers at target.com and oxo.com cite comfort, sturdiness and a lifetime warranty
  • Strong 4.8 average across 2,274 Amazon reviews

Where it falls short

  • Target's own listing shows a more mixed 4.1 rating across 1,202 ratings, a spread worth noting
  • Only two pieces, with no fork, brush or storage case included
  • A BuyItForLife commenter on an OXO-style set noted the storage case can come unglued over time

Locking Tongs, Instant Read Thermometer & a good brush that can withstand the heat. Brushing your grill while it's cold is useless, in my book.

The tongs are at least 3/16" thick forged with solid handles. I can pick up an 18 pound brisket and they won't bend. When I went to get another ...
