Use this to hold 2 fireplace shovels upright.  If you shovel hot coals (why would you do that?), I'd let the shovel cool off for 30 seconds before placing in here.  

I have used for more than 2 years and haven't had an issue.  But, use at your own risk.  

I can't account for each person's level of common sense.  If you don't poses any, please don't print this model.
