ACHLA Chelmsford Fireplace Tool Set | Black Cast Iron Ball-End Handles | Living Room & Hearth Accessory | 8 x 8 x 30 in, 4 Tools | Model WR-45BK

A 30-inch tall fireplace tool set with classic ball-end handles and a round cast-iron base, finished in black for traditional hearths.

The Chelmsford Tool Set brings a timeless silhouette to your fireplace with decorative ball-end handles and a simple circular base. The set includes four essential tools—poker, shovel, natural sorghum brush, and T1 tongs—each with a three-point capture for safe, secure fire-tending. The cast-iron yoke and base provide excellent stability, while the zinc die-cast handles and solid rods offer balanced heft. Available in three finishes, this black version features an electroplated handle finish with a durable black powder coating.

Best for

• Living rooms and family rooms with a wood-burning or gas fireplace, placed beside the hearth for easy access.
• Traditional or classic-style interiors where the ball-end handle design complements the decor.
• Homes with a fireplace that requires regular tending—ideal for daily use during heating season.
• Entryways or mudrooms as a decorative accent near a wood stove or fireplace.
• Gift-giving for homeowners who appreciate functional, well-made fireplace accessories.

Not ideal for

• Outdoor fire pits or uncovered patios—the cast iron and powder coating are not rated for prolonged exposure to rain or moisture.
• Spaces with very low ceilings or shallow hearths—the 30-inch height requires adequate clearance.
• Those seeking a modern or minimalist aesthetic—the ball-end style is distinctly traditional.

Style and finish

The Chelmsford set features a classic ball-end handle design that has been a fireplace staple for generations. The black finish is achieved through electroplating on the handles and a durable black powder coating on the base and yoke, which is superior to standard paint. The cast-iron construction gives the set a substantial, heirloom-quality feel.

Materials and care

Made from cast iron for the yoke and base, with zinc die-cast handles and solid steel rods. The fireplace broom uses natural sorghum bristles. To clean, wipe the metal parts with a dry cloth; avoid water or harsh chemicals that may damage the powder coating. The sorghum brush can be gently dusted. Care instructions not specified by manufacturer.

Sizing and fit

The set stands 30.25 inches tall with an 8 x 8 inch base. It fits comfortably beside most standard fireplaces. The tools are fully assembled and ready to use out of the box.
