Comments about Aluminum Pot Lifter:

I got tired of trying to move hot lids with gloves and or bandannas. Stumbled across this tool at REI and bought one on impulse. Just used it on a three day trip and it performs brilliantly. I suppose it could dent lighter pans and pots. I use it with an open country 2 qt pot and it works wonderfully with it. It makes it easy to poor boiling water into mugs, bowls and food packets!

Ok, so you CAN get away with lifting hot pots and lids using a bandana as a potholder, but why bother when you can use this?

This handy little tool weighs nothing (well, ok - 3/32lb). It is an excellent way to trim down on weight for the minimalist. Virtually indestructible. No cons.

Comments about Aluminum Pot Lifter:

These pot grippers are exactly what I was looking for. Very simple design, good value. They work easily on the main pot as well as the pot lid. They are easy to pack and lightweight.
The only problem with these is when lifting a large, heavier pot, they tend to dig into your hand a bit.

Comments about Aluminum Pot Lifter:

Great for replacing flimsy pot lifters that come with your pot set (I replaced the one that came with my MSR 2L Titan). These pot lifters grip really well and hold a pot full of water and transports it easily from fire to table.

If you're in need of a really good, and really simple, potlifter then you can't go wrong with this one.

Comments about Aluminum Pot Lifter:

Grips very well & price was right, but using a 36 oz. "grease pot" (thin aluminum) it dented the pot each time I used it. Probably fine on thicker pots though.

Great product for being so cheap and made out of aluminum. I have only used this a few times but overall this is great. I have a 1.5 liter pot and it can easily lift that with water in it.

Comments about Aluminum Pot Lifter:

Lift your pots without fear! I have many pots and pans, some with handles and some without. Either way, with or without handles, they all get hot over a fire or a cook stove and this little beauty is a life saver. You can't beat the price, it weighs nothing, fits in most stowed pots/pans, and absolutely beats burns and scalding on you hands. Great little comfort item.
