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.

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.. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

I can thoroughly recommend it if your soil is friable and easily worked, e.g. a vegetable bed, which has been dug regularly each season and has benefitted from the regular addition of compost. If yours is a new garden, however, say on a new housing estate, where the builder has buried the usual rubble of half bricks, wall ties and timber offcuts, this is not the fork for you. The manufacturer warns against using it to lever up roots and the like but frankly this is a tad disingenuous. The soil in my garden is sandy and therefore very light. I had recently had some landscaping work carried out as a result of which the soil had become compacted and I wanted to fork it over to loosen it and to remove perennial weeds. For 90% of the time the fork worked well. It was light to use, it penetrated the soil easily and the soil did not cling to the tines. But then I would come across a piece of buried root. The root would be less than 2 cm in diameter and less than 0.5 m long but, if one of the end tines caught on it, the tine would bend. It is inevitable, when digging, that you will hit buried objects. The heavier the soil, the more force is required to dig it and the more likely it is that such things will happen. Which is why I say that the manufacturer's warning is disingenuous. It is a very attractive fork. It is light to use and to keep clean. But, it is not a fork for digging. It is a fork for forking. ## Frequently Bought Together - Spear & Jackson 4550DF Traditional Stainless Steel Digging Fork - Egardenkart® Garden Rake Full Metal Heavy Duty Green --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/48153652-4550df-traditional-stainless-steel-digging-fork](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/48153652-4550df-traditional-stainless-steel-digging-fork) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
