I have OXO good grips, a few different lengths. Have had them for years. the shorter ones have the black nylon on the end but the longer ones I use on my kettle are full stainless steel and are locking, which helps for storage. I also have a fancy heavy duty stainless steel but I don’t know the brand name, but I prefer the OXO.

My wife got me a set of Williams-Sonoma grilling tools 10 or so years ago. Tongs, spatula, brush, fork. I use them all regularly to this day.
The case has kept them all safe and undamaged over years of hard use. I BBQ/Grill/Smoke at least once a week.
All the stuff you need. The fork gets the least use, but it still comes out often.
The tongs are awesome. The metal loop to hang it doubles function to lock the tongs closed when you aren’t actively using them.
This set is pretty close, and it’s on clearance
