Review: Great fork - This is a really nice piece of equipment. It looks great and is pretty sturdy for the level of gardening I do
Review: Outstanding Service - 2 year old fork replaced by Spear and Jackson - 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 desertcart, there is no facility on desertcart 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long are the tines/prongs on this fork?  I need long prongs for aerating.  Thank you.**
A: Hi Julie. The tines are a smidge over 10.5 inches. I have aerated using this for, but to be honest, I found the times too long and thick.  I have a smaller fork wit thinner tines about 8 inches which I prefer.  This gets me down to between 4 and 6 inches depending on the sub-structure/builders rubble equation.Hope this helpsDave B

**Q: How long are the tines?**
A: 22.5 cm this is a well balanced fork and not too heavy.

**Q: how long is it in total**
A: 1020 mm  or if like me 3ft 4 1/4 "

**Q: I'I'd like this to be a gift - can the shaft be engraved with a message? Do you know of a company who can do this please?**
A: Timpsons can usually engrave anything.. but ring the manufacturers may help to solve  your problem..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great fork
*by P***L on 10 November 2025*

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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Service - 2 year old fork replaced by Spear and Jackson
*by S***N on 28 June 2021*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works very well
*by M***N on 18 September 2024*

It arrived quickly and was well packaged. The stainless steel is great. Nice, shiny and very easy to clean - I forked out a really gooey compost heap with it, so I know. It's a great size for me and I found it weighed about the same as my old one. The only thing that stopped this being a '5' was the handle. It was really rough and had to be sanded befor use - very unusual for Spear and Jackson stuff. Now the handle is smooth it's a great addition to my tool shed and would easily get a 5 rating.
