The ultimate fire tool for your fireplace or fire pit. This hand-forged log grabber is a three-piece design for ultimate sturdiness and durability.

Each set of fire tongs is hand-crafted in Maine using a combination of traditional and modern blacksmith tools and techniques.

The tongs measure approximately 33" (825 mm) long.

We also have a matching 34" fire poker and a listing of the two as a discounted set.

Care and use

About the finish

These fire tools are finished in a traditional blacksmith style known as "brushed and waxed." They are first wire brushed to remove forge scale (a thin layer of material that forms on the steel during the forging process), and then sealed with a natural wax finish. This method highlights the natural beauty of the steel surface only achieved through the forging process. 

Outdoor Use

The wax finish is not a paint and should not be exposed to prolonged moisture. If you wish you store your fire tools outdoors, we recommend spraying the piece with a high heat paint such as Rust-Oleum® High Heat Spray Paint obtainable at your local hardware store. This will prevent rust over time (the pieces will still function fine when rusty if you prefer a weathered look). This spray paint can be applied directly to the piece.

Removing rust and resealing the tools

The surface of steel can tarnish or rust over time depending on humidity levels and exposure to moisture. The tools will still function with this surface rust. If you wish to preserve the original look of the piece, surface rust can be removed with a brillow pad, wire brush, or steel scouring pad. Once removed, reseal the piece by rubbing a thin layer of any household oil such as vegetable oil over the newly cleaned surface.

Awesome! Just awesome! The fireplace tongs look great but even better, they work great! The tongs work very well to grip hot logs and the length is just right, not too long nor too short. We love them!
