Spear and Jackson small professional English fork with a wooden handle

This small professional English fork by Spear & Jackson, shorter and more manageable than the classic model, is designed to work on light, not too compact and non-stony soils, in restricted spaces or between plants. Equipped with a hardwood shaft, an ergonomic wooden handle and a 4-tine forged carbon steel blade, benefiting from epoxy rust protection, it is a well-finished garden tool that will satisfy demanding gardeners and lovers of fine tools.

The digging fork is a versatile tool that complements the spade, designed for digging, loosening, cultivating and breaking up the soil. It is generally much better suited than the spade for working on difficult, stony, clayey or heavy and compact soils. It allows to loosen the soil without turning it over, simply by penetrating the tines. Unlike the spade, this garden tool does not disturb the soil's microbial life and does not cut through earthworms, which are essential for soil health and fertility. It can be used to dig up weeds, as well as vegetable plants (leeks, potatoes, carrots, turnips) or to divide large clumps of perennial plants. It can also be used to uproot and transplant plants, remove stones, and bring up pest larvae. A smaller fork is more precise, and more useful to gardeners who have less physical strength.

This Spear & Jackson model emphasizes the quality of the finish, but it is intended for precise work on light soils, unlike classic models designed for compact and/or stony soils. It consists of a modest-sized, lightweight, hardwood handle, resistant to weathering and very manageable. The metal ferrule with a socket, riveted for greater strength, protects the handle from any wood rot. It accommodates the 4-tine fork with triangular points, made of forged carbon steel that is resistant to both shocks and torsion. The head of this fork is covered with epoxy, a very hard resin, making it more resistant to corrosion. The handle, ending with a typical YD handle of English tools, multiplies the force: this handle allows you to use your full weight to drive the fork head into the soil. It is made of steel, covered with epoxy and a wooden sleeve. This product is guaranteed for 10 years by the manufacturer.
