Digging Fork Sneerboer

• The 24cm long flat tines (1.5cm wide, 3.5cm between tines) slice through the most compacted soil
• The 18.5cm wide head allows a good quantity of soil to be turned over.
• The overall length is 116cm

The Fork – Sneeboer tools are praised by garden professionals. Start off with the digging fork for £84.95, a worthy investment and one that should last a lifetime.

Verdict: This traditional Dutch hand-forged fork has a small stainless steel head with wide, flat, pointed tines designed to slice through soil more easily than thin tines. The extra-long wooden shaft ends in a small T-handle.
While this fork looks fairly utilitarian, it is lightweight and surprisingly easy to use. However, it is much more expensive than the other forks tested. Rating: 4*

I have always enjoyed working with Sneeboer so a fork and spade from their range would be a good start…
