Home and Hearth 18019 Compact Fireplace Tool Set, 18" H/13 lb., Matte Black

The quality is really nice. We have a small apartment, and it is a functional and beautiful addition to out hearth. I am so glad I went with this set.I was sorry it did not have tongs, but the little rake shaped hearth tool and the nice shape of the poker make it still easy to manipulate logs in the fire.I hope someday to have a small woodstove, and I will be able to use it for that also.

Easy to use, substantial material and looks good in cabin.

This is an extremely well made set of hearth tools. Very compact; ideal for a small to medium-sized woodstove. (Too short for a large woodstove or fireplace.) The base is very solid. No wobble. The tools are well designed and well made. Much better quality than most of the compact tool sets that I have seen. This set may be a bit more expensive than some of the alternatives, but it is an excellent value given the high quality.

Sturdy. The base is heavy and won't tip when just one utensil is hanging on the rack. One piece utensils means no more loose handles. Small enough to get into our wood stove and easily clean out the box. Well worth the money knowing it's the last set we have to buy. Strongly recommend the product.

In 1991 I purchased a Pilgram Compact Tool Set (identical to the current model) - when the foundry was located in Richmond, CA as I recall. I recently purchased the current model to accomodate a larger and more frequently used fireplace. It was easy to assemble, arrived promptly, and was well-packaged. But when comparing the tools to the 1991 version, they seemed less substantial: the theaded pieces were not well- machined, the welded or joined parts looked less finished than the 1991 tools. So I weighed each tool set and found the following: The 2019 model is over two pounds lighter than the 1991 tool set: 1991 = 12.5 pounds; 2019 = 10 pounds. Losing over two pounds is suggestive of less substantial material being used. Also note that my weight calculation of 10 pounds for the current model differs from the advertised weight of 13 pounds.That said, the current model is of reasonable quality but not comparable to the earlier model and only time will tell if the tool set will hold up as well as the 1991 set. You should also know that I purchased the current tool set at a substantially reduced price as a returned item to Amazon. At full price I'm not certain I would consider it value for money - the manufacturing is not of the same historical quality and the tool set is likely not produced domestically. Pilgrim ought to consider producing more domestically and to its former standard.

I bought these tools for use with a wood burning stove, with a top opening (also opens in the front). The tools are too short for satisfactory use via the top opening of the stove. When the end of the tools are touching the bottom of the inside of the stove your hand is level with the top of the stove, so your hand gets soot on it if it touches the sides of the top opening. Otherwise, the tools and base seem sturdy and fairly well made.

Great coating on the outside with good ergonomics. Easy to assemble, color matches cast-iron woodstove perfectly. Can't think of anything to improve the product or the price. However, it's unclear on the pilgrim home and hearth website with the country of origin is of this product. I recall that looked very hard for made in USA or Canada products for environmental reasons, to support low and middle income workers and the US welfare state. I can't recall the country of origin for this product. Other companies make it much easier to find made in USA or Canada products. I will not buy again from Pilgrim home and hearth until they make the country of origin more clear.

I like the unobtrusive size. Also that it has I coal rake. My stove is 2.5 cubic foot interior, front loader. Don't need anything longer.

Nice size for a small fireplace while still being solid built.

Wanted something well-made, simple and compact to use with our Stuv compact woodstove in our small cabin. This is perfect.

Well made. Do the job. Don’t need anything larger.

It gets the job done! Assembly is straightforward, the tools are hefty and solid.They’re short, so perfect for a small fireplace.

Exactement ce que je recherchais. Format compact et simple. Une bonne qualité de produit. Je le recommande vivement.
