1. The rack Now this may sound medieval and intimidating, but never fear, it's just the attractive home for all your hearth tools. It stands proudly by your fire, keeping every tool in its place, ready for use at a moment's notice. We offer racks from traditional to contemporary and are sure you'll find one that suits your needs.
2. The broom The broom is an attractive member of the hearth tool family. Use this little gem to gently sweep away ashes and charred bits of the previous evenings festivities. Its small size makes it easy to use and ideal for getting soot from the small corners of your fireplace.
3. The scoop Cleaning the hearth is never a fun task, but at least the handy scoop lets you do it without too much fuss. More like a mini shovel, the hearth scoop will make short work of ash build up. Whether you drop it down the ash shoot or stick it in a bag, the scoop is the ideal tool to use for the job.
4. The poker Keep the fire burning all night long with the handiest tool of them all, the poker. Yes, it is the simplest looking tool, but without it many hearth owners would suffer painful burns on their hands, or ruin many a good broomstick. This metal rod usually features a pointed end with a hook for turning and shaking burning logs. Not a fun thing to do with your bare hands.
5. The tongs This versatile tool makes quick work of shifting or stoking the fire. Simply use it to turn slow burning logs, or to remove partially burned logs when cleaning. Make sure to use caution as two hands are required for this tool and burning logs can be dangerous. And never remove a burning log from the hearth.
