This item is cheap enough that if you have a Weber kettle, it will probably be worth it to get one. I like mine, but it could definitely be engineered better. The Good: 1) Convenient place to hang your tools. 2) Cheap as can be, yet constructed of decent quality steel. 3) Holds 4 items, when 3 is probably the most I've ever used at one grilling. The Bad: 1) Any plastic trim on your handles of your tools will likely melt since it sits right next to the heat. Try to keep this away from your starter pile. The same problem can make your tools hot to handle (even my wood handled ones got hot to the touch!) 2) It comes off far too easily when tools get hung up, the kettle is moved, or the lid bumps it too hard. Weber should engineer this to actually "clip" on instead of simply sliding on. I haven't tried clamping down the metal to make it grip better, yet. That may help, but the metal hangers seem too short to lock on permanently. 3) The lid doesn't sit as tightly as it should. 4) The hooks are a bit too close together, so your tools bunch up a little. If it were a little wider it would also make it harder to bump off the grill. It's not that tough to hook it back on when it falls, but it is annoying when it falls off mid-grill, dropping your clean tools on the ground. Weber should design an add-on system for these grills. I see no reason why they couldn't add anchor points to the kettle, even simply extending the handle base to either side so adding on a clip like this or other things like condiment tray, etc. becomes simple. I can't believe it would cost that much to do this even on the basic models. It's a 3, but for the money, I'd recommend it anyway (especially for the MacGyver types).
