I pulled my butt apart the other day with little effort using two forks, but I see bear claws are popular on Amazon.  Are they worth it?

I was skeptical and always used a couple forks until I received a pair of the Bear Paws from Cabela's as a gift. They are a lot more useful than I thought! I would recommend them since they are on sale for $10 right now.

Will they do anything that two big forks won't do?  No.

But I think they are easier to use for pulling meat apart as well as picking up and moving chunks of meat or whole birds. Just my 2 cents.

i have a pair and love them, not only for shredding but also picking stuff up, an 18# prime rib roast is pretty easy to move from the roasting pan to the serving  platter with them, for their cost id say go for it, im sure you will spend more on something dumber anyways lol.

Concur...moving large hunks o' meat is so much easier with bear paws, and the pull time is dropped significantly.
