Not much of a review, but this is a Grate Lifter that I really like. It works well with all of my grates, including over sized SS and various cast, as well as standard & GBS Weber grates.

Do you have the Char-Broil CI grate? Wondering how it would do with that one's larger openings. Good to know about the GBS, I presume you mean the standard plated steel insert, or the sear grate as well?
I do have the Char Broil CI. It lifts the 18" section fine. Not sure on the 22" section.
It lifted the gbs outside and standard rod insert. I don't have other inserts, but suspect it wouldn't work with the sear insert.
do you own the craycorts? does it work well with those?

I do not have craycorts and cannot speak to how it works with them.
I am sold, ordering one tonight
A quick update, pics of various grates. I will say the GBS grate seemed really heavy to hold with one hand for the time it took to take the pic. I can't hold it closer to the center, which would have helped.
Standard:

Thanks!
I have been trying to find something also ..... this looks perfect - easier for me to use since I get confused quickly!! :P
and at the price you can't lose! Thanks
I've been using the spring loaded BG Egg grate lifter. Bought two for use with my Ranch. I use the Ranch away from home mostly, and I like to take the grate off as soon as I'm done cooking on it (replacement grates are ridiculously expensive, so the less heat it sees, the longer it lasts). Welding gloves only keep the heat out for so long. It works with the Gourmet Grate set-up, just a little awkwardly though.
Costs $16.99 at a local Ace. Got mine at in December, so I worked out a deal with manager, to get two @ 25% off.
