How long should fireplace tools be?

Generally speaking, a tool needs to be at least 66 cm away from the fire for safety purposes. Also, consider where the handle is located, and if it’s a shorter tool, make sure the handle is heat-resistant and won’t burn. Always have an appropriate tool on hand in case of a fire.

What materials are used for fireplace tools?

These tools come in various shapes, such as cleavers and shovels and they need to withstand high temperatures. The most common materials used to make fireplace tools in New Zealand are steel, brass or wrought iron. A combination of these metals is often used to create more aesthetic-looking tools.
