A 28-inch wrought iron fireplace tong for tending logs and embers in indoor and outdoor hearths, finished in graphite powder coating.
The Minuteman Shepherd's Hook Tong is a single-piece fireplace tool built from durable wrought iron with a graphite powder-coated finish that resists rust and heat. Its standard tong design lets you safely adjust burning logs or move hot coals without bending too close to the fire. This tool is part of the Minuteman single-tool line, ideal for replacing a missing piece or starting a basic hearth set.
Best for
- Indoor wood-burning fireplaces and outdoor fire pits where you need to reposition logs or embers
- Hearth areas where a full tool set isn't needed but a reliable tong is essential
- Covered patios and screened porches with a fire feature, thanks to the rust-resistant powder coating
- Gift-giving for new homeowners or cabin owners who need a basic fireplace tool
Not ideal for
- Gas fireplaces or electric fireplaces where no log-tending is required
- Very large hearths where a longer 36-inch or 48-inch tool would be more comfortable
Style and finish
The graphite powder coating gives this tong a dark, matte-gray appearance that blends with most fireplace surrounds and tool sets. The wrought iron construction offers a traditional, hand-forged look without the weight of solid cast iron. The Shepherd's Hook shape at the handle end provides a comfortable grip and a classic silhouette.
