The poker is made of solid metal and acts despite the size even somehow elegant. Because of the relatively high weight it would actually be usefully employed only for the fireplace or stove workshop, and for that I bought him. But he is awkward, and although not necessarily because of the higher weight (who like me has a stable wrist, which could thus quite cope). Unwieldy it is mainly the fact that the hook rotates in the screwed metal shaft at each kindling. You can unscrew the hook yet so firmly into place, it dissolves immediately and fomenting succeed not well: this massive and heavy hook behaves in fueling almost like a lamb's tail. Conclusion: as decorative items you can buy this poker entirely, but for everyday use, it is less suitable. On the other hand, one can at the low price but not do anything wrong, because you then simply buys a new one. The best test is the functionality of the hook then before purchase physical: the hook sits firmly in the shaft? This then saves a bad buy.
