Spear & Jackson 4060NB Elements Carbon Long Handle Weedfork

I lost my favourite gardening fork (I actually think I dropped it in the green bin with the garden waste SOB!) And needed a replacement. I chose this as I like and trust the brand completely, having never let me down. An added bonus was that it was only £6.99 at the time of purchase. An absolute bargain when compared to garden centres locally. Amazon delivery was spot on as usual.and received the next day. Upon taking it out the packaging the first thing to notice is how light it is but not atal flimsy. The fork handle is wooden and sturdy, comfortable in my hands even after prolonged use which is a must for me. I struggle with bad joints and the shape of this fork doesn't aggitate or iritate them when I'm holding it tightly. It has a smooth finish to it. The handle has a hole with a piece of strap through for hanging which is a must for me as I always hang tools to let them air dry and prevent rust etc. Having had the fork a while now with constant use, ive regularly cleaned it and there is not a specknof discolouration or damage which is good news so I'd say its definitely resistant to rust and staining, shows a decent quality of material. When the strap deteriorates in a year I will just replace with more or a cable tie. I never buy tools without a hanging option now. The size is perfect for me personally, its not a short stubby one and has just the right length so its not uncomfortable and I'm using my bodyweight to push it down into soil. Space between the handle and fork head is ideal so no cloggy craggy build up of soil or leaves when digging. Fork head is spot on! I cannot abide heads that have no decent points to them, blunt and rounded is useless when digging and a waste of money. This has just the right amount of point allowing for a subtle sharpness that remains safe, at the same time slices easily into my hard soil areas without trouble. I can easily stab through lumps of soil with very little effort. It's a fabulous fork which I don't hesitate in recommending thanks to its ease of function and fabulous top notch quality. I'm thinking of grabbing a spare just incase I misplace it again!

Brilliant easy and less back ache.

Good product

The weed fork is small but very strong and is ideal for weed removal .also has a good grip on the handle

This item is excellent for turning over earth and removing weeds. The long handle is ideal for me as I can no longer kneel down but with this fork I am able to stand or sit and look after the flower beds

This hand fork is very sturdy and a good weight. My old fork was too lightweight and weak.

Lightweight but sturdy, just what I needed as I can’t reach far side or middle of some borders. Good price for a well known supplier.

can't do without it, hope I won't loose it

Confermo 5 stelle di chi mi ha preceduto. Testato come estirpatore su un discreto cespo di vigorosa graminacea nel prato. Comodo anche il cordino in cuoio.

Though I dont think I will be running around looking for a guarantee at this low price it is good to know that they back themselves. Perfect for hard to reach deep planting

A strong metal fork which does the job properly without bend or breaking.

Good quality

The best garden tool ! Excellent for saving your back . Quality piece.
