@SteveOOO wait, was the knife blade and the grill scraper the same set of serrations? That’s gonna last a while AND be kind to any coating on your grill grates…
@Fen_Star@RedOak I grill at night all the time. Especially in the winter- sun goes down way too early. I also have an idea how long the meat needs to stay on, and my phone has a flashlight so…
Ok I was just thinking tonight that I need a couple heat resistant spatulas given my brother has discovered my brother can hit a good char since we lack outdoor grilling space. Grabbing one for us, one for my boyfriend’s engineer of a dad who will appreciate the multifunctionality of this!
I’m sorry, I just can’t get over this one. Can you imagine saying to a spouse, “Hey, guess what I just got two of for less than twenty bucks? You’ll NEVER guess.”
If the bottle opener needs to be part of this, it should be on the handle, not on a surface that touches meat (either raw/ undercooked, or sticky residue or char).
@earmstrong and that might be one reason these are here and slow sellers at $59 each on several sites. Crazy. Somebody thought they had designed the cat’s meow.
@Woody1 Hey, ease up on Hazard Fraught, will ya?
I haven’t really seen a ton of multi-tools from there, unlike Tractor Supply Co- where I’ve seen dozens…
@awk@katbyter You’re not limited to that size of a slice, just rotate it CCW (in the picture above) to cut a bigger slice. The spatula lifts pizza off the stone/tray to enable slicing with ease, then helps you serve that hot slice of heaven.
@awk despite being an obnoxiously oversized drawer clogging kitchen apparatus, that’s pretty awesome. Wait, do the scissors fold down for easy storage? Then I’d be sold.
@SirLouie I was thinking perhaps you could take them apart to make one pair of tongs with a light, and then one pair of spatula-only tongs with a light.
If possible, I think that would be a better pair to have.
@mfladd lemme guess before I watch. Some disgruntled daddy chef is stomping his hands and/or running is hand through his hair in utter defeat to all that delicious meat he overcooked because it was too dark. Then he fumbles around with a flashlight but drops it because he can’t hold two things at once and cries out, “There has to be a better way.” as shrugs at the camera?
@fastharry that’s because his grave is attached to a giant wheel that just trapped a boulder that ran down a long track after being stuck by a giant hammer into a funnel and onto the track. The hammer swung because it was held a loft on one end by a rope. That had been cut.
The rope was cut by a swinging knife that had been set free when a set of dominos ran around the room climbed some stairs and knocked over a lighted candle which burnt the cardboard that the knife was resting on.
The dominos were set in motion by an over filled bucket of water… The water spilling out and knocking the dominos over.
The water was turned on when meh posted this ad at midnight.
I’m in for a pair, and I will take one camping. And I hate camping. And I own a camper. The other I will give to my friend Charlie because he is a dick.

As seen on TV? There has to be an infomercial for this somewhere.
@lichme I can cut a tin can with it?
@lichme Available in most fine stores.
@SteveOOO wait, was the knife blade and the grill scraper the same set of serrations? That’s gonna last a while AND be kind to any coating on your grill grates…
@lichme @medz Sharper than our German Frankentool?
@OnionSoup - Please provide picture.
@aetris /giphy finer than our German knives ginsu
Meh… I’m.doing something wrong.
@OnionSoup /giphy has to be on a new line.
/giphy finer than our German knives ginsu
Damn.
WTF?
Is this some new adult toy?
What goes where?
@Woody1
After that premature forum tweet, I thought meh-rathon for sure, but nah.
Looks like the natural evolution of Edward’s scissorhands. Now he can smack you, not just cut you.
What the frit is this?
Pretty sure this was created for the anti-UncleVinny, whoever he or she may be. (He’s definitely a he.)
Like anybody needs TWO of these? One is bad enough.
Flipping out tonight meh
Billy Mays just called from Heaven and wants to come back to sell these…
/giphy chipotlaway
Why would you need a flashlight for a grill? Don’t they usually produce light on their own? And do people usually grill in the dark?
@Fen_Star I grill at night often. I usually put my patio light on though.
@Fen_Star my grill has a built in flashlight and illuminated dials.
@Fen_Star We also grill at night often… and also have a patio light.
@Fen_Star @RedOak I grill at night all the time. Especially in the winter- sun goes down way too early. I also have an idea how long the meat needs to stay on, and my phone has a flashlight so…
@Fen_Star could be useful when camping
@Fen_Star We also grill at night and use a flashlight to check doneness.
@Fen_Star We also grill at night often, have a patio light and use a flashlight to check doneness.
Ha! No bluetooth!! And it doesn’t work as a speaker dock!
@eeterrific Agreed! No Bluetooth , no sale. It ain’t even purple!
@eeterrific - Nor does it make margaritas, it’s not Georgia red, and will not work with a mac.

What a piece of frankenshit.
Just one letter away from delicious Starfruit!
If the bottle opener needs to be part of this, it should be on the handle, not on a surface that touches meat (either raw/ undercooked, or sticky residue or char).

Because your beer will taste so much better when you pop the top off with an unwieldy tool dripping with hot grease!
Might even be more useful than a Spork
This is the kind of thing Meh would sell EVERY DAY if it was really meh. You guys are living up to your name tonight!
I say kudos to you!
You all are participating in a consumer focus group.
“At what price would you buy this mutant analog Harbor Freight tool if we sold them in two packs?”
@Woody1 Hey, ease up on Hazard Fraught, will ya?
I haven’t really seen a ton of multi-tools from there, unlike Tractor Supply Co- where I’ve seen dozens…
@Woody1 $1
What kind of batteries does it require?
@PhysAssist One site selling it says AAA and another says AA.
@PhysAssist So… that’s “AAa” then?
@Chmarr Aaaaa
@Chmarr @PhysAssist @RedOak
@Chmarr @RedOak @RiotDemon
I’d buy one of these first…
/image pizza wedge scissors thing
@awk I will admit I cut pizza with scissors, but I don’t see using the spatula part. Looks like a very small piece of pizza.
@awk @katbyter You’re not limited to that size of a slice, just rotate it CCW (in the picture above) to cut a bigger slice. The spatula lifts pizza off the stone/tray to enable slicing with ease, then helps you serve that hot slice of heaven.
@awk despite being an obnoxiously oversized drawer clogging kitchen apparatus, that’s pretty awesome. Wait, do the scissors fold down for easy storage? Then I’d be sold.
HSN is clearing them out @$12.96 for one, but they also include 4 stainless skewers if that matters. $3.00 shipping.
@RedOak depends… What else do the skewers do? Corkscrew? Lockpick? Apple corer?
Body piercing? Frog gigging?
With yesterday being Memorial Day, the official start of Summer, and THE day everyone grills, Meh is right on time
Looks like a sales job suited for The Chef of the Future:
How many times do I have to say “No” ? 2 or 5 or 10?
Perfect for when the little critters are trying to drag their carcass off the grill with their tiny crispy limbs. One for each hand.
I watched the infomercial. I wonder if this is something you give as a prank.
Two of the pictures makes it look like it’s tongs and flashlight only…
@SirLouie I was thinking perhaps you could take them apart to make one pair of tongs with a light, and then one pair of spatula-only tongs with a light.
If possible, I think that would be a better pair to have.
The video for this is just as bad as the “tool”
@mfladd lemme guess before I watch. Some disgruntled daddy chef is stomping his hands and/or running is hand through his hair in utter defeat to all that delicious meat he overcooked because it was too dark. Then he fumbles around with a flashlight but drops it because he can’t hold two things at once and cries out, “There has to be a better way.” as shrugs at the camera?
@goldnectar @mfladd no, not a daddy but more of a cowboy or something. And damn watching that ad kind of makes me want one now. Arg!
@goldnectar @mfladd …and I gave in. Hope dad and FIL like it for Father’s Day.
/giphy smokey-grueling-cow
@goldnectar @moonhat Nooooooooooooooo!
I might have considered one for $8, but I certainly don’t need 2 of them.
@Pufferfishy that was exactly my thought too.
Too over engineered. Looks like it would do a lot of things at a mediocre level.
So, the typical multi-tool.
@Pufferfishy exactamundo.
Rube Goldberg is spinning in his grave…
@fastharry that’s because his grave is attached to a giant wheel that just trapped a boulder that ran down a long track after being stuck by a giant hammer into a funnel and onto the track. The hammer swung because it was held a loft on one end by a rope. That had been cut.

Flip it good!!!
I hadn’t realized that the writer and I were long-lost siblings. Did Dad have a second family somewhere?
@mmug - That would explain the TWO Starfrit Tonglites…
Get a grip meh.
OK, I’ll take a pair.
glamorous-unflappable-rogue
I’m in for a pair, and I will take one camping. And I hate camping. And I own a camper. The other I will give to my friend Charlie because he is a dick.
@Contrary Is this one of those situations where your friends never see you and “Charlie” together…?
This sits firmly in the “I would take a second glance at it if it wasn’t two for Tuesday” camp
Even if I had a $20 coupon I would pass.
