a good product but i was VERY disappointed to see on the outside of the product box that the item contains LEAD and is considered to cause cancer in the state of california. i would have reconsidered purchasing this if I had know it was a health risk. 
SIX MONTH REVIEW: I ended up having this item refunded. It was wobbly and wouldn't pick up a 3"x 4' log. I Immediately switched to the BBQ tongs I got from the dollar store and used them instead and they worked way better. This log grabber was so useless I could not stop laughing. It was like I was being pranked. Utter piece of garbage. Excellent customer service from Wayfair though - Even though it was a few months after I bought this (didn't get around to having a fire) they refunded my purchase without grief. Seriously though, do NOT buy this item unless you want a good laugh.
