Spear & Jackson 1994EL Select Stainless Steel Border Fork, Blue

I'm not very good at keeping secrets and around Xmas time I inadvertently told my wife what present I was getting for her birthday which is in early January. "Darling, I'm giving you a big and long fork for your birthday." She blushed and replied, "well I'll look forward to that because I've not had a big one for years, and certainly not one that lasts for more than few minutes." I wasn't sure what she meant but on the day of her birthday I told her that I would give my present to her after our evening meal. That evening I prepared a candlelight supper for us (not actually cooked it as I ordered a delicious meal from an online celebrity chef), with Prosecco to start and a very nice bottle of wine with the meal. My wife told me that she was really excited at the thought of her birthday present, so before supper she went upstairs to change. When she came down, she looked a million dollars. She was wearing a tight-fitting dress, slightly shorter than normal, and had put on make-up and made a real effort with her hair. Wow - I was so lucky to be married to her. After a couple of glasses of Prosecco, and then a few glasses of wine and eating that delicious food she started to become very amorous and after the meal we sat on the settee, and she gave me a peck on the cheek and put her hand on my thigh. She whispered, "darling, shall we go upstairs and unwrap my present in the bedroom?" I looked rather puzzled and said, "I would like you to open it down here on the settee." She replied "On the settee? Well, that would be a first for us. OK, why not. Let's go for it." I went out of the living room into the utility room where I had hidden her present. When I got back to the living room my wife had taken off her dress and was lying on the settee with another glass of wine in her hand. "Are you feeling unwell?" I said as I gave her the large cardboard box in birthday wrapping paper. "What's this?" she said. "I told you what it was around Xmas time" I replied. She started unwrapping it and then realised it was a big, long fork. "It's a bloody garden fork!" she shouted, "I thought you meant you were going to give me a big, long ....". She stormed upstairs and locked the bedroom door, so I had to sleep on the settee. The next morning, she had calmed down and as the weather was good for January, she went out in the garden to use her new fork. When she came back into the house I asked her what it was like, and she said it was excellent and muttered something about could she have what she thought was her present on our anniversary.

It’s really good quality and as the last one which was a different make and purchased from a famous DIY store lasted two weeks as not really fit for purpose, this one seems 100% better!

Very nice but unfortunately still not durable enough for me. I have lots of rocks in my garden and have already manged to bend the forks.

Very pleasant to handle because of the ergonomic design. I have bought many forks over years of gardening. This is the best value. Worth the money.

At last a fork that does all that can be reasonably asked of it without failing. Expensive perhaps but worth it to know that you have a reliable tool that will not let you down. The forks dont't bend at the slightest provocation, it is a nice weight and feels comfortable in use. After being hard used by me, it barely displays any sign of fatigue. In the past forks have never survived a summer without having had their forks bend and twist to render the tool unuseable. I have every expectation that this fork will see out several summers.

Bought this for my avid gardener mum as it lightweight and she loved it!

After two years of use the fork failed as a tooth failed and snapped off

Item well made and sold at an excellent price. Already used it and it works! Definitely worth it.

Love this. Great addition to my garden tools.

¡No estaría en mi jardín sin este fuerte tenedor cerca! Es fuerte y útil para remover la tierra en áreas de macizos de flores grandes. Se compró para remover una gran superficie de tierra después de levantar el césped.

È un piccolissimo giocattolo adatto solo a bambini o adulti affetti da nanismo di un atrezzo del genere non so proprio cosa farne mi spiace ma lo renderò.

Fazit: Alles in allem für knapp 32€ eine sehr gute Gabel, die besser ist als alle anderen aus einfachem lackierten Stahl. Von meiner Seite eine klare Kaufempfehlung!Die Grabegabel erschien mir im ersten Moment etwas kurz, aber wie sich beim ersten Arbeiten herausstellte, war sie für mich mit ca. 176cm Körpergröße ziemlich optimal dimensioniert. Was bei diesem Produkt heraussticht ist die exzellente Verarbeitung insbesonder der 4 Metallzinken, die aus Edelstahl gefertigt sind. Diese sind viereckig mit einer Kantenlänge von jeweils ca. 1cm. Das it perfekt zum Lüften (Aerifizieren) des Rasens. Hierbei hat die Gabel einen hervorragenden Dienst geleistet. Auch der Schaft ist hervorragend verarbeitet und der Griff, der auf den ersten Blick seltsam geformt wirkt, ist genial, da man hier mit beiden Händen anpacken kann.Alles in allem für knapp 32€ eine sehr gute Gabel, die besser ist als alle anderen aus einfachem lackierten Stahl. Die Zinken sind sehr stabil und haben sich nach den ersten Einsätzen auch nicht verbogen!

I inherited a lawn which was very compacted and bought this fork to introduce drainage holes into the lawn. It does this well. It has also come into use to pick up bougainvillea pruning (too many thorns for the hands) and turning over the soil in the garden beds. The fork is a solid build and being stainless you can wipe the dirt of with your hand.
