 Not worth even $10Apr 16, 2008
I bought this fork because it looked like it was well made. Metal shaft, impressive tines and plastic handle. It didn't last one season. One of my sons broke the shaft of the fork where it enters the metal handle while digging potatoes. I sent an email customer service at Fiskars with a description of the problem and a picture. They promptly sent me a replacement free of charge - kudos to them. After analyzing the metal, the fork part itself is made of cheap metal and is not designed for heavy duty use. My recommendation is to skip this fork if you really want to use it in your garden to do serious digging.

My advice is spend the money for a good fork before buying this.Feb 26, 2008
I purchased one of these locally last year....My garden is a heavy silt base and I have been working organic matter into it to lighten it up. I had purchased a real cheap spade fork previously, which only lasted about 3 sessions. When I found the Fiskars unit at our local hardware store I thought that it was a dramatic improvement over my earlier purchase, and it was...for about 2 days. While the tines of the cheap fork simply bent with too much torque, the tines on this fork were so brittle that I easily snapped one of the outside tines off. After returning it to the store I purchased it from, I replaced it with another of the same brand...this one lasted 3 days before breaking a tine. In addition the plastic handle, while being very roomy and easy to use, is still plastic and began turning on the shaft after several hours of work...loosening as I worked.
No more cheap forks...time to bite the bullet and spend some real money on a real fork. If you have lite soil and don't work it too hard it will probably last a couple of years. But if you are really using this a lot, spend the money and get a real fork.

My wife broke mine trying to remove a Juniper shrub. I am looking for something stronger.

 great garden too;Jul 16, 2007
This is a very sturdy, heavy duty digging fork, I like the handle and it's strong enough to dig the big, deep tap roots. Good buy

Fiskars Garden ForkJun 28, 2007
This product is designed for men to use. It is a pitty they do not make a lighter, smaller version for women. I have found it sturdy but too heavy and cumbersome to use for long periods of time. It always amazes me how little manufacturers think of women when they design products and in the case of gardening tools, women are often active users of such tools so the oversight is all the more egregious.
