Garden forks such as these are very handy if you ever have to dig into rocky or compacted clay soil.

This can reduce the strain on your body and tools.

The fibreglass handle helps to make the tool more lightweight.

The garden fork comes into its own if you need to dig up plants with tough and/or massive root structures.

The tines can cause less damage and allow you to get out more roots than you would with a spade.

For plants - this reduces stress

For weeds - helps you get out all the roots reducing the chance of them returning.
