Spear & Jackson 4550DF Traditional Stainless Steel Digging Fork

Lovely to use, feels good in the hand.

Firstly this is a great garden fork, strong and nice to use. However, 2 years after I bought it, I managed to snap it in half (too much leverage, trying to move a plant). I noticed it had a 10 year guarantee sticker on, tried to contact Amazon, there is no facility on Amazon for customer feedback after 2 years, so I contacted Spear and Jackson. Well their customer service is outstanding. I don't usually write reviews but this made me make the effort. They replied: 'I can see from the pictures and the receipt you’ve attached that you are eligible for a Free of Charge replacement under the 10 year guarantee.' No hassle, no postage fee and now I have a lovely replacement fork.

This is an excellent fork head but I have had to replace the handle twice in the four years I've had it. Buying a new one because it is such a hassle getting the handle off the old one.

A well crafted garden fork, nice wooden handle and shaft, though handle is slightly small, but that could be just my chunky old hands. The head seems well forged, and in use first impressions are good sharp prongs and no sign of weakness. In these things time is the big test, so will update as necessary.

Very good fork nice and strong

This is a really nice piece of equipment. It looks great and is pretty sturdy for the level of gardening I do

As usual, excellent quality from Spear and Jackson. The tool comes with a warning that it is only for tilling and light garden use. Anything more and heavier equipment is needed (Crowbar). These tools are not for levering bricks and rocks out of your garden. I like the wooden shaft. It is warm to use in the colder months, when we turn the soil. Comfortable in the hand and with care can last a lifetime (Linseed oil loves wood). The part where you place your foot is wide enough not to be uncomfortable and the fork is strong so does not flex. Being stainless steel steel it will last. I coat my tools with light oil to prolong life, even stainless steel can corrode eventually. Great addition to my garden tools.

One of prongs snapped clean when using to dig up roots, not great

I love this garden fork! It is sturdy and has a lovely streamlined handle design. Tested it and it works well.

Very Nice. Worth every penny. Heavy Duty.

Functional
