Overview

The Spear & Jackson Elements Long Handled Weed Fork 4060NB/09 is a practical cultivating tool designed for working the soil and tackling weeds while providing considerably more reach than a conventional hand fork. Its three-prong carbon steel head is particularly useful for working around plants and in areas where a full-size digging fork would be cumbersome.

The head is heat-treated and hardened for strength and durability, with a hammer-finish protective coating for improved resistance to rust, scratches, humidity and alkalis in the soil. The long, clear-lacquered weatherproofed ash wood handle improves reach and helps reduce bending and associated back strain during garden maintenance.

Why We Love It

• Extra reach – ideal for cultivating and weeding without the constant bending associated with short hand tools.

• Three-prong design – compact enough for working between and around established plants.

• Strong carbon steel head – heat-treated and hardened for durability.

• Protective finish – improves resistance to rust, scratches, humidity and soil alkalis.

• Durable wooden handle – clear-lacquered, weatherproofed ash provides a traditional, hard-wearing finish.

How to Use

Cultivating

Push the three prongs into the soil and gently work the fork backwards and forwards to loosen and cultivate the ground. Its compact head makes it useful for working in beds, borders and around established plants where space is limited.

Weed Removal

Use the prongs to loosen soil around weeds before lifting them from the ground. Working the surrounding soil first can make it easier to remove unwanted growth with its roots intact.

The long handle provides additional reach when working further into beds and borders and helps reduce the amount of bending required.

After Use

Remove soil and plant material from between the prongs after use. Allow the tool to dry before storing it in a sheltered location.

Perfect For

• Cultivating beds and borders

• Loosening soil around established plants

• Removing weeds

• Working in awkward or difficult-to-reach areas

• Gardeners who prefer extra reach and less bending

Good to Know

The Elements Long Handled Weed Fork combines a compact three-prong cultivating head with an extended handle, giving you the control of a smaller garden fork without requiring you to work as close to ground level.

Its carbon steel head has a protective hammer finish for improved resistance to the conditions encountered during regular soil work, while the weatherproofed ash handle is designed for durability.

Care & Storage

Clean soil and plant residue from the fork after each use and allow it to dry thoroughly. Store in a dry, sheltered place to help preserve the carbon steel head, protective coating and wooden handle. The leather strap provides a convenient way to hang the tool when not in use.
