Top garden forks rated for strength, durability, and price

Spear & Jackson have done it again, bringing us a top quality product at a good price.
 Manufactured to a high standard, yet costing £58.89 with free delivery, this Spear and Jackson border fork would be a nice addition to your tool shed.
 To minimise the amount of soil that sticks to the tines, the fork’s head has been made of mirror polished stainless steel, and this has the added benefit of preventing rust.
The shaft is made of polypropylene which is a material known for providing strength without adding too much weight.
 A nice feature of this garden fork is that the handle is angled forward a little and this helps you to lift soil easier and lowers the strain on your hands and wrist.
The products dimensions are 97 x 18 x 7 cm and it weighs 1.76 Kg.

• Made to exceed British standards for loading
• Lightweight
• Mirror polished stainless steel tines prevent rust and sticking

Fiskars are so confident in the quality of this garden fork, they are offering a lifetime guarantee, and that’s something that can’t be sniffed at.
 Durability and a long working life is assured by the 4 sharp tines that are made out of very high quality steel.
 The whole thing measures 105cm long and the curved aluminium shaft is ergonomic, oval shaped and coated with plastic. This coating not only improves your grip on the fork, but also helps to protect it from cold.
 A d-shaped handle provides you with a comfortable hand position and dampens shock and this is also helped by the fact that the handle is angled slightly.
 The overall design and colour scheme of this Fiskars digging fork is modern and stylish

This digging fork has been given a traditional style and it looks fantastic. The contrast of the solid hardwood shaft against the shiny polished steel head is a real eye catcher. The way the one piece shaft splits to form the handle is also a thing of beauty. 
Not only does it look good, but this fork has all the quality you would expect from Spear & Jackson. The hardwood used for the shaft has been treated to make it weatherproof and increase its durability.
 The mirror polished steel head and tines are not just for show, they also serve the purpose of keeping dirt from sticking to the tool and stopping it getting rusty.
 At 90.5 cm it isn’t the longest fork out there and would be ideal for those of us who aren’t blessed with being 6 feet tall. They’ve also made a nice trowel and hand fork that would compliment this nicely.

• Beautiful traditional design
• Mirror polished steel tines
• Weatherproof hardwood shaft
• Compact and good for working in tight spaces
• Rust resistant

Priced at £11.18, this compact border fork offers good value for money.
The head is made from drop forged steel and this gives it a little extra weight but also inspires confidence in its sturdiness and strength.

The main draw of this particular fork is given away in the title above- ‘carbon steel’. 
Wilkinson sword have made a decision to make the head and tines of this tool out of carbon steel instead of stainless steel for a good reason- carbon steel is stronger and stays sharp longer.
 The tines have also been given an epoxy coating to stop soil adhering to them and slowing down your work. For extra stability, the head socket has been double riveted.
 The wooden shaft is made from weatherproofed ash and is 100 cm long, which is an ideal length for the average person and the handle has a soft grip to prevent blisters but you could always buy garden gloves too.

• Carbon steel head and tines
• Anti-stick epoxy coating
• Double riveted head socket
• 100cm Weatherproof ash shaft
• Soft grip handle
