Shovel MODECO MN-79-386 — coal shovel, metal blade, wooden handle

MODECO MN-79-386 coal shovel with a metal blade and wooden handle is designed for manual handling of coal, firewood and other bulk fuels. The shovel combines a corrosion-resistant metal scoop with a shaped wooden handle to provide a stable grip and efficient material transfer when loading stoves, fireplaces and small fuel stores. The tool is intended for household and small-scale heating maintenance tasks where a durable, simple implement is required.

Advantages

The metal blade offers rigidity and wear resistance for repeated scooping of coarse materials, while the wooden handle reduces vibration and provides a comfortable hold during extended use. The shovel’s construction emphasizes straightforward maintenance and long service life under typical domestic conditions. Its shape and weight distribution enable efficient loading and reduced spillage when moving coal and bulk fuel.

Suitable for

• Loading solid-fuel stoves and boilers
• Refilling fireplaces and fireboxes
• Transferring coal, coke or lump fuel in small storage areas
• General household fuel handling and maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Blade material: metal
• Handle material: wood
• Design: manual scoop shovel for bulk fuel
• Typical applications: coal, firewood, lump fuel handling
• Construction: single-piece blade with attached handle for manual operation

How to use

Hold the wooden handle with both hands, positioning one hand near the blade for control and the other toward the end of the handle for leverage. Insert the metal blade under the coal or fuel, lift smoothly and transfer the load into the stove, fireplace or storage container. Use controlled motions to avoid spills and to protect the handle joint. After use, remove loose debris from the blade and store the shovel in a dry place to limit corrosion of the metal and degradation of the wood.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the wooden handle periodically for cracks and the metal blade for signs of excessive wear or corrosion. When working with very hot embers, avoid direct contact between the blade and active flames; wait for material to cool sufficiently to prevent damage to the handle and reduce safety risks. For prolonged outdoor storage, apply a light protective coating to the metal blade and keep the handle dry.
