Iron eventually replaced bronze tools such as axes, chisels, fishing hooks and arrow heads but it required a lot of work since they did not have the ability to heat the iron to more than 1500 degrees.

Copper melts at a lower temperature than iron. Therefore, in order to remove it from the ore in which it is found, and in order to work it, a hotter fire is needed to for iron than for copper. Making a fire hot enough to extract and work iron is more difficult, so iron tools were more difficult to obtain than copper tools.
iron weapons and tools
Ancient Egyptians extracted iron ore from rocks using a combination of heating the rocks in fires to break them down, and then using various tools to extract the iron. This process involved a series of steps including crushing the rocks, smelting the ore to separate the iron from the rock, and then shaping the iron into tools and weapons.

I am not 100% sure if this is the correct answer since you used the word extensive... but the first people to use iron would be the Hittites.. While they created iron they could not create enough to be effective in the use of battle with the Egyptians... who used copper weapons.
Iron was first discovered in ancient times by ancient Egyptians around 5000-3000 BC. The exact individual credited with the discovery of iron is unknown, but the use of iron became widespread during the Iron Age, roughly around 1200 BC.
The Hittites are believed to be among the first to create tools using iron around 2000 BCE. They were skilled in iron production and used it to create weapons, tools, and armor which gave them a military advantage.
iron was found by Egyptians and they used it a lot.
