First Impressions
(This is just a quick review and first impression)
As I glided through an ebay sellers shop I came across these in the auction section going for £1 approximately. Without giving it much thought I bid on them and won.
Listed as BBQ Meat pullers or shredders this pair of plastic claws promised to make light work of any large chunk of protein.
I hadn't heard of these Bear Claw meat shredders before so I was curious about what I would actually recieve.
Judging by the listing photos these things looked quite sharp and aggressive. The individual claws looked like they measured about 2-3 inches in length.
One wonders if these claws were made with self defence in mind as well as the meat shredding?
After a few weeks of waiting they finally arrived from Kowloon. Packaging wasn't such a big deal with this order. No real special care was needed as these claws are virtually indestructible as it turns out.
Inside the plastic bag were the two bear claws, made from an ABS tough plastic and black in appearance. The five claws on each handle were indeed very sharp and I did manage to stab myself a few times completely by accident!
In terms of durability these claws would take a fair bit of force before they might buckle and snap. They feel really firm and tough.
Gripping the claw handles is quite comfortable. The actual hole where the hand is placed is large enough to accommodate the biggest of hands making these a '1 claw fits all' item.
One nice feature of these claws is their weight. At 50g each they weigh hardly anything. Surprisingly light and yet incredibly strong.
Testing
At this point in time I don't have a hog roast or side of Beef to test these claws on which is a shame. Confidence is high though.
I don't doubt that these will do the job and do it well.
Going back to the previous mention of them possibly being self defence claws.... it wouldn't surprise me! if we can have tactical pens and tactical spike rings then why not tactical BBQ claws?
Thankfully I don't think that these claws are illegal to carry! lol
In conclusion I'm quite impressed with these items. A novelty perhaps but definitely practical.
These Bear claws could make a good gift idea for someone who do a lot of cooking. They would certainly be a talking point.
Rating: ✅✅✅✅✅ 5 out of 5
A straight 5 score for these unusual kitchen implements. They are strong and light and unlikely to break under normal circumstances.
Wether it's shredding a particulally large piece of Pork or shredding up an assailant you really can't go wrong for a quid!
