Customers say
Customers like the comfort, ease of use, and precision of the weeding fork. For example, they mention it’s easy on the back, saves bending down, and is great for getting in between plants. That said, opinions are mixed on the handle and performance.

Excellent garden tool
I bought this so I wouldn’t have to bend down as you do when weeding borders with a hand fork. It is perfect. The handle is the right length and good quality wood, the fork substantial enough not to bend but sharp enough to make light work of turning the soil. The fork being the size of a hand tool allows for ‘precision weeding’ compared to a ‘normal’ garden fork. The extra reach of the long handle also means I don’t have to tread so much on the earth. Recommended.

Excellent quality long handled weed fork used over 6 months,works well,feels good
I do some gardening for several people in the village where I live. A previous long handled weed fork with a metal handle broke in the spring after many years of use. I read the reviews of various replacements, and decided to opt for this slightly more expensive garden tool. In this instance it has been a case of you get what you pay for, and it has turned out to be a superior good quality product.It has a long reach wooden handle that is pleasant and more comfortable to use over say a couple of hours continuously , compared with the previous metal handled tool I had. It is a relatively light weight tool, with a small stainless steel head. The fork head tends to stay clean, and is ideal for reaching inbetween or underneath established shrubs and herbaceous perennials or across a border without needing to stand on the soil. I have used it now for many hours on my own and others gardens. On the fairly sandy soil we have locally it has coped well. proving robust and well up to the job.It is ideal for lightly tilling a flower bed, going a bit deeper that a conventional hoe, but a lot more shallow than a border fork. At this time of year you can use it without damaging planted bulbs which are a bit deeper. I have used it extensively now over tens of hours over the previous 6 months or so, and I have found it an ideal tool for cultivating borders, freshening them up, removing the light weeds, and leaving everything spick and span. Having been favourably impressed with this “Kew Gardens ” garden tool from Spear and Jackson, when any other implements need replacing in the future I will give this superior range careful consideration.
