Valiant Bellows & Cast Iron Tongs - Black

The tongs are made from durable cast iron with a heat-resistant black finish. The bellows are made from wood with metal rivets and feature a grey finish.

The tongs measure approximately 34cm in length and weigh 700g. The bellows measure approximately 390mm in length, 155mm in width, and 30mm in depth, weighing 430g.

Wipe both items with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the tongs, a light application of natural oil can help protect the finish. Ensure the bellows are kept dry.

While designed for traditional fireplaces and wood-burning stoves, the tongs could be used for minor adjustments if safe to do so. The bellows are intended for stoking fires with solid fuel and would not be effective or appropriate for gas fireplaces.

Inspect the pivot point of the tongs. If rivets appear loose, a qualified professional might be able to tighten them. For significant looseness, consider replacement.

Ensure the nozzle is clear of debris. Check that the bellows are opening fully. Inspect the seam for any leaks; small leaks might be repairable, but significant damage may require replacement.

For minor scratches, a specialized metal polish for cast iron might help. For significant wear, consider applying a high-temperature paint designed for stoves and fireplaces, following product instructions carefully.

Apply a small amount of natural wood oil (like linseed oil) to the wooden parts of the bellows, wiping off excess. Ensure the bellows are stored in a stable humidity environment.
