The gloves are heat-resistant and designed for short periods of handling hot items near a fire. They are not suitable for carrying very hot materials or for use in foundries or as oven gloves.

Can the shovel be used outdoors?

Yes, the heavy-duty steel design makes the shovel resistant to heat and wear, making it suitable for various tasks in the garden, such as moving aggregate.

How should I clean the metal bucket and shovel?

Clean the steel bucket and shovel with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Ensure they are dry before storing coal to prevent moisture buildup.

What standard do the heat-resistant gloves conform to?

The gloves conform to EN12477:2001 Type A, which is a standard for protective gloves for welders.

Is the product suitable for all types of fireplaces?

The bucket is designed for storing coal or as a decorative feature by any fireplace. The shovel is versatile for ash removal. Compatibility depends on the size of your fireplace and your specific needs.

What is the material of the gloves?

Troubleshooting

Bucket lid does not fit securely

Check for any debris or damage on the rim of the bucket or the lid. Ensure the lid is correctly aligned before attempting to close it.

Shovel shows signs of rust

Clean the affected area with a wire brush. Apply a rust inhibitor and a suitable metal paint or coating to protect the steel.

Gloves feel stiff after drying

This is normal for suede. Gently flex the gloves to soften them before use. Avoid excessive heat during drying, which can make suede brittle.

Bucket handle feels loose

Check the rivets or bolts securing the handle. If loose, tighten them carefully. If damaged, consider professional repair or replacement.
