Food Flipper Kits with 90° Hook

Turn a handle that actually belongs in the kitchen with the Food Flipper Kit with 90° Hook. The food-safe stainless steel shaft installs directly into a 6mm drilled handle — no tube, no bushings, just your blank and a great finish. Choose the 8" shaft for everyday grilling or the 13" shaft for extra reach over open flames or larger grills.

What truly sets this kit apart is the true 90° hook design. One quick wrist turn lifts food cleanly off the grill — no dragging, no squeezing, no crushed burgers. Turned between centers with a 4-prong drive center and live tailstock, the handle can be turned straight or shaped to any custom profile, making every flipper completely one-of-a-kind.

Features

• True 90° hook — lifts food cleanly with a simple wrist turn; no dragging or squeezing required

• Food-safe stainless steel shaft — corrosion-resistant and safe for all cooking surfaces

• No tube, no bushings needed — the shaft installs directly into a 6mm drilled hole, secured with 2-part epoxy

• Two sizes available — 8" shaft for standard grills or 13" shaft for larger grills and open-fire cooking

• Turned between centers — handle profile is completely up to you: straight, tapered, or sculpted

• Handles any food — burgers, chicken, bacon, shrimp, vegetables, and more

• Average skill level — a great step up from pen kits for turners ready to try functional project kits
