Spear & Jackson 4552BF Traditional Stainless Steel Border Fork

This is a “quality”product that is ideal for my wife who is on the petit size or myself in my late seventies with stage four Osteoarthritis as it’s extremely well built but not overly heavy. We’ve purchased this “on offer” from Amazon but l would still have bought it at full price. Definitely recommended for all gardeners.

Super tool, easy to use , lightweight compared to others and super sharp to cut through soil and roots. Exceptional quality

Bought to replace an identical fork on which I had managed to completely snap off a bent fork tine when trying to straighten it. These forks are lightweight, easy to use, and do the job they are made for, but remember this is a border fork made for light digging in prepared ground, and not suitable for digging out shrubbery's or working rough, boulder strewn ground. The quality of the fork tines is adequate if used with care. The one piece hardwood handle & shaft has a smooth finish & fits neatly into the fork head without leaving sharp edges. A well balanced tool to use, easy to clean and looks great. Words to the wise... [1] Don't attempt to straighten bent tines by hitting them with a hammer, it only results In catastrophic failure of the steel forks, far better to use leverage & pressure... [2] This item has a ten year guarantee so when the shaft on my original broke after a couple of years use, I should have got in touch with the manufacturer, but instead I replaced the shaft myself which obviously invalidates the warranty.

Great product with a long warranty from a great company!

Strong little fork good value Vue for money

Excellent quality. Sturdy and small enough to handle. Update for this item. Having used this fork for minimal, non heavy work for about 18 months, I was surprised when the shaft of the fork broke in two. It can't be repaired, so I'm disappointed to say the least.

The tine bent on first use - probably intended for beds that have looser soil so maybe my own fault for breaking dense clay soil with it but I thought it would take it....it didn't. Lovely well made fork in all other respects just don't do the tough jobs with it.

Great quality and lovely to use.

It's hard to find a good fork these days. Extremely hard! This one does it all. Strong, sharp tines. A very well-made handle. An often overlooked factor is the angle of the tines relative to the shaft, which makes a big difference in leverage when prying and lifting. I run a busy, high-end gardening company and I have tried many, many brands, most of which are now sitting broken in my fork graveyard. This one is truly a cut above. After trying it out I bought a lifetime supply of them. You won't be disappointed.

J'ai eu beaucoup de mal à la trouver. Elle remplace parfaitement la précédente qui date de plus de vingt ans!

Di buona fattura. Acciaio inossidabile così non arrugginisce Unica cosa la dimensione ridotta.. Ma dipende da per cosa lo so usa.. ci ha le braccia corte ed è alto forse potrebbe avere problemi

Excellent product, sharp and strong prongs and ideal proportions for me at 5ft3. Would have been even better with slightly longer prongs- just because some of us are shorter doesn’t mean the weeds and shrubs we need to dig out are rooted any less deep. But it’s extremely useful in my garden and I would recommend this.

As usual derived as stated. The tool its self is of a very good quality.
