These tools are wonderful -- they don't melt, they're comfortable in the hand, etc etc. My only gripe is the flipper/turner. It's a bit too thick, and the silicon adds just a bit too much friction. It's hard to get the flipper under whatever I need turning.  However, the BRUSH more than makes up for that! OMG -- the silicon-bristled brush is simply AWESOME. easy to clean, works just like a regular brush, yet doesn't hold onto gunk in the bristles like regular brushes do, despite tons of cleaning.
