These things are constructed so closely with OXO tongs they have to be made by the same plant. The only things that distinguish these from OXO good grips tongs are:

1. An embossed logo by the handle

2. A larger ring at the end of the lock

3. Lock is a bit tighter, but that may be due to my OXO tongs being several years old

The similarities with OXO are:

1. The exact same size and scalloped shape of the gripping end

2. The exact same shaft dimensions

3. The exact same handle material

4. Handle design so exact that the rubber grips are interchangeable

5. The hinge design, down the the internal spring and lock are visibly identical

If there is any doubt remaining, the product image is actually of OXO tongs, these tongs have a larger end loop on the lock with a copper ring attached.

These are great tongs. They're made of stainless steel, and they have soft grip handles. They're very sturdy. The locking/unlocking feature works great. And the long handle (17 inches) make these tongs very useful.

These are really nice....locking handle and extra length perfect for the bbq. Much longer and storage would be an issue. Great grip handle keeps cool even when tongs are hot.

Honest reviews on Outset QT20 Stella Stainless-Steel Locking Barbecue Tongs

The Outset QT20 are very nice tongs for light to medium duty in the kitchen. For outdoor grill work a more heavier set should be considered. The weight of the Outset on my postal scale is 6.4oz and the metal is .033" thick.

For comparison I have an identical set to the Dutch Oven 16" Stainless Tongs found on this site and can be purchased most anywhere for $3.00 to $9.00. These are more heavy duty weighing 8.7oz and .042" thick plus the tongs are fully rolled and braced. They lack the locking mechanism but have an attached square sliding wire ring that serves the purpose. On these cheapos I had to do a few adjustments and use a file to rough-up the very slippery grip area so you get what you pay for but they're more suited for coals and larger cuts of meat, IMO.

The Outset QT20 are probably the same as OXO as noted in another review. Overall they look nice on a hook waiting to flip some chops and the locking mechanism functions perfectly. For the price paid, $10.00, it was a good deal.

I bought these for my husband for his birthday mid-July. He loves to grill and hates most of the "standard" bbq tongs because they either don't grasp firmly or only close all the way along one edge. He loves this pair! Not only are they long enough to make grilling a little less hazardous to his health (he *loves* fire), they grip strongly and he has no problem flipping burgers, steaks, or 'dogs with the gently scalloped edges. They hold up well in the dish washer, store easily since you can keep them closed, and so far I have seen no sign of rust or any other wear. This product is win for us!
