 Works, but questionable value Jul 23, 2011
By Skewbee
Although cheaper grill lifters are available, I chose to go with what I believed to be a quality product. This product is functional, but is of questionable value as cost was roughly $25 by the time it reached my door. The build is okay, but the pickup bar had been welded slightly off axis making it slightly unparalleled to the main frame. This did not appear to affect performance, but I would not expect this lack of detail for the price paid.
There is a slight learning curve as the first tendency is to squeeze the handle when lifting the grill. This technique would cause the lifter to lose grasp of the grill; not what you want. You need to leave the thumb loose and lift with the other fingers only. Another important operational note is to find the weighted center of your grill grate and insert lifter there so it is balanced when you lift. Nothing worse that a wobbly hot grill sliding off your lifter.
Needed improvements:
More secure grasp of grill - My grates are heavy. If I'm off center with the grab, the lifter can lose grip of the grate and slide. This could be alleviated by texturing the contact surfaces of the lifter. Stronger clamp springs would also help, but would require user to have stronger grip.
The product works and is backed by a reputable name in the industry. I'm just not convinced that it's a better choice than the generic brand lifters.

 Exellent Grid Lifter Sep 12, 2009
By The AD
"Grill Guru"
This grid lifter works better than expected. I have a great grill but the cast iron grates are heavy and cumbersome to lift, especially, when they are hot. With the Steven Raichlen Grid Lifter there is no longer a need to wait for the grid to cool and they are actually easier to clean when they are hot.
This is an excellent grill accessory and I recommend it for any type of grill.

Great while they last Jun 22, 2008
By Jan R. Klincewicz

I am on my second one (which just broke) in two years. Apparently SR changed designs, as my #2 is very different from the first one I bought (which was graciously replaced for free, when I contacted the manufacturer.)
I grill every day, and use heavy cast-iron grates, so if one of these lasts me a year, I guess I should be satisfied for the price. I am ordering a new one.

the best thing in a grill mans pocket! Jun 08, 2007
By Saeed A. Siddiki
"Homer KSA"
i actually read about this in Steven's book. I think every Grill myster must have this tool. Its simple yet so many people don't think about it. On several occasions i had to reload hot coals but couldn't lift the gritts. This tool is a must!
Works Better Than I Imagined May 26, 2012

The best grill tool ever. I can lift up a fully loaded Weber grill to throw wood chips on to the coals or move them around. I even use to to lift the grill when its cold. It's just so convenient. Everyone who sees it is instantly jealous. I even ordered a second one.
