3-Tine Hand Digging Fork

Product Description

In the USA, the standard kit of hand tools includes a trowel, a 3-tine cultivator and a fishtail weeder. In merry old England it's a trowel, a dibble and a 3-tine fork.

Our three tine fork is a stout one with tines of 7/16 diameter steel hammered and ground to a spear point. The head measures 4 1/2 inches wide (about an inch wider than most.) with 5 1/2 inch-long tines. The two outer tines are rolled forward and their tips tilted slightly inward to produce a cupped configuration for better lifting of plants and bulbs. However, all three points are on about the same plane so you can easily work along a straight line if necessary.
