8 Best Fireplace Tools

Key Specs

• Pieces: Poker
• Material: Wrought iron

This heavy-duty poker is perfect for jabbing and hooking logs in your fireplace, and at just over $20, is priced lower than similar options. Weighing just 1.4 pounds, it also requires minimal effort to use, and thanks to the ergonomic handle, is comfortable to hold as well.

The hooked head is perfect for hanging on a nail or hook when you’re not using it, and since the hook, handle, and bar are securely glued together, there’s no assembly required. If you don’t need an entire set, or just want to replace your existing poker, this is a great choice.

BEST DECORATIVE SET

Key Specs

• Pieces: Broom, poker, hook, shovel, rack
• Material: Cast Iron

If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind fireplace set that you probably won’t see anywhere else, this Barton tool set—and its medieval knight stand—could be a perfect fit. The 20-inch knight rack organizes and supports the four included tools, and the extra-long 28.25-inch poker fits in as part of his costume.

Each tool features a decorative handle too, and comes topped with a sphere to ensure a proper grip during use. This set does use a hook tool instead of tongs though, so it wouldn’t be a great choice for those who need a heavy-duty option.
