Gardener's Supply Company Lifetime Dutch Digging Fork with Long T-Handle | Heavy-Duty Steel Garden Tool Pitchfork Shovel for Moving Mulch, Turning Compost, Pitching Hay, Lifting Soil

Description

We've all been there - trying to use a pitchfork to do a shovel's job or vice versa. It can be maddening! Our Lifetime Dutch Digging Fork finds the happy medium between the two, providing more functionality in one tool. With wider, flatter tines than a pitchfork, this unique garden fork is able to perform any task that a pitchfork excels at - moving mulch, pitching hay, turning compost - but the increased surface area of its flatter tines gives it more holding power for tasks like spreading manure, and the wider tines can stand up to burlier tasks like loosening and lifting tough soils. The Dutch Digging Fork is made to last, crafted from high-quality materials and designed for strength and durability. Our Gardener's Lifetime tools are hand-forged in Holland from the finest high-carbon boron steel by DeWit, a fifth-generation family-owned business. The steel tangs extend into hardwood handles made from sustainably grown and harvested European ash, so they're sturdy, durable, and comfortable to use. Unlike stamped steel tools that tend to be flimsy, these are ready for a lifetime of use by serious gardeners. And it isn't just a name - every Gardener's Lifetime tool comes with a lifetime guarantee! Review: Very durable and nice handmade garden fork...but - I really like this fork, and I hopefully can keep it for a long, long time...however, after its very first use, the single screw that holds the wood handle to the fork itself came loose enough that I had to tighten it down twice. I bought the fork to help aerate my yard, which was very compacted, so I put a lot of pressure on the fork and the handle while using it. I used it heavily for about 45-60 minutes and had to tighten the screw twice. Overall I wish I could give this tool a 4.5 because I feel like 1 single screw seems like a design flaw. Review: Not kidding. Lifetime - My wife is a Master Gardener and has a variety of the Gardeners Supply lifetime tools. We’ve never had an issue with any. She works these tools hard. We have about 1/4 acre with numerous flower and plant beds. We also have a raised bed for vegetables and the short handle with the T makes this tool ideal for turning and tilling. She also takes the tools to the county extension garden each week. Since we are in Florida, that workload is year round. Great tools!
