The Faithfull Countryman Hand Fork is ideal for working the top soil and for the easy removal of weeds and unwanted growth where the entire root needs to be removed. Made from heat treated (hardened) carbon steel to provide both strength and durability. Powder coated finish provides improved resistance to rust, scratches, humidity and alkalines in the soil. Fitted with a European Ash handle supplied from FSC® sustainable resources. These are then lacquered for protection against the weather. The small size allows it to work in tight spaces where a long handle tool cannot be used. Because they are often used for digging up weeds, hand forks are sometimes referred to as 'weeding forks' but they are suited to many jobs around the garden, such as preparing planting holes, transplanting, aerating and mixing additives into your soil and are indispensable for levelling around border edges and tidying up the soil. The Countryman Range has been designed for the gardener who requires a tool they can rely on to provide years of dependable service. Description: Countryman Hand Fork
