Panacea 15041 4-Piece Fireplace Tool Set

these are smaller than classic andirons but perfect for small spaces. they are very simply constructed but sturdy. they are exactly what i wanted: not taking up much space but fully functional no frills tools

I have a fireplace that looks normal sized, but is very shallow. I can touch the back wall and my elbow is at the curtain. For this depth, this set is perfect. It looks TINY at first, but I cleaned the whole fireplace within 5 minutes of opening the box. Quality and price are excellent. Highly rec if you have a shallow fireplace.

Larger children and normal-size adults beware: this set does does the job, but it's much smaller than you would expect. The rack stands a whopping eighteen inches in height, so if you're looking for something substantial to grip in your hands then look elsewhere. The tools work, and if you want to maintain your fireplace on a budget then you could much worse. You should not be surprised when you open this set to find something tinier than you expected. Other than the size and the lack of a good gripping tool, I have not been disappointed with the set. The tools are substantial for their size and have not seen any change or damage from being used consistently over months. The brush has seen heavy use and has not lost its shape. If you're looking for a budget way to maintain your fireplace, then this set works well.

First, my broom isn't as pictured either - it's a black, square-headed broom and it works GREAT. The handle screws into the broom head (not glued), by the way, just FYI.Meanwhile, these tools are fantastic for two things - cleaning out my wood stoves via their front door access and ash pans, and for tweaking along any fire you'd open your front doors to access. Might also be great for side-door access but I can't speak to that.Details: The broom head is only slightly wider than the shovel, which has a perfectly flat even floor so the shovel acts as a perfect dust pan for ashes you sweep up with the broom. It's also an ideal width for getting around andirons for ash removal from stove interior. The poker is a GEM. A simple right angle turn without angles or curves, it gives you super control when tweaking the placement of kindling and beginning logs. Also sturdy enough to lift big ones for readjustment. The whole set is ideal for all tasks that are normally done without distance required, and I really appreciate not having to balance longer tools for that. The handles are ergonomically comfortable with good grasp control, and all three tool handles loop readily over other fireplace tool holder stands which is what I do because I don't want 2 stands in the way, but the stand that comes with it is sturdy. I do use my long poker for adjusting logs in fully established fires when loading through the top door, but anything I need to do through the front doors, I find these safer and way easier to handle.I ordered one set and liked it so much that I ordered a second for my other stove.

As mentioned on other reviews I was shocked by the size as was my partner. It is very tiny and a bit awkward to use even with a small fireplace. The brush is cheaply made with deformed bristles that make it useless. The set itself is a heavier duty material and takes up very little space due to its size. I tried to return this item and was offered two options of shipping either pay a third of what I bought it for or half of what I bought it for. Not very good options! I rated this 3 stars b/c I think it would be okay for a small stove and it seems like all tools but the brush are well made. Also, it arrived quickly.

The side is perfect for personal fire pits. Shovel fits inside to scoop up ashes.

Great for a small to average fireplace. Pretty simple and strong.

Yeah, it's small, but so is the price. Great for small fireplaces.
