Fiskars Ergo Long-handle Aluminum Hoe (60 Inch),Silver/Black

I have only used this for a few days but I am impressed!The length is perfect for a 6' individual and the fork doesn't give at all in heavy use.Not light but not heavy either. The tines are sturdy and won't bend like the flats on the box store forks but they enter compacted soil easily.I typically get one season out of the box store forks but I expect this fork to be used by future generations (if I could only get them to use it now it would be perfect).Update:I have used this fork for three months now, it is my constant companion and has seen continuous heavy use.It is sturdy, well made and effective. The length makes it easy to use and provides a lot of leverage without bending the tines.Definitely the best fork I have purchased!I liked it so much I purchased a second one for my young assistant.It's not cheap but it is worth every penny!Update #2 8/10/24My four tine fork is now a three tine fork. The far right tine lost temper and became spaghetti bending with every use. I straightened it about twenty times before it snapped. The remaining three tines are solid and it is still my go to tool. Everything else is still tight and solid.I have another fork (same model) but I continue to use this one.A disappointment but not a disaster.

This is a great garden fork, perfect for small jobs around the yard. I'm 6'1" and I bought this fork to use on a large compost pile, about 4'x4'. Unfortunately, the fork is a little small for a compost pile that size. I'm finding that I'm having to really "get in there" and am ending up getting compost on my feet as I turn the pile. That being said, that's not the fault of the fork. I'm going to have to buy a longer compost fork at the local big box store for about $25. What I really love about this fork is the D handle, so you can lift loads well while keeping a straight back, something that's important for me with my bad back. It's the longest garden fork I could find that had a D handle, but if you find a longer one, please put that info in the comments. My only concern is that the D handle is held on by one small screw. The handle is plastic, but it's very heavy-duty; I can't imagine breaking it in any scenario. The fork is a bit heavier that one might expect, but that's due to it being high quality. A good quality fork, and I love the ergo design; it's very comfortable to use. If I ever have any problems with the handle, I'll be sure to update this review.If you have any questions about the fork, just ask in the comments and I'll do my best to answer promptly.

This high-quality tool is absolutely perfect for roughing up mulch, scraping out weeds or just fluffing up a garden bed. It's light and made of aluminum but, not cheap aluminum (like a cheap old broom). It's substantial high-grade aluminum (which you can tell by the weight) and like you might find on a baseball bat or golf club head. Not too heavy, not to light, just right. The shaft is triangular and provides a better grip than a round tubular shape. The tongs at the end are not just sharp points. Rather, and as shown in advertisement pictures, they flatten/broaden out at the ends so when raking through mulch there is more lift (like have tiny little shovels) which is more effective in grabbing/turning the mulch, scraping the weeds, or just cultivating the soil.

I really just use it to carry in the back of my truck to pull stuff to the back so I don’t have to climb in. It’s light weight, sturdy, works good for that, and priced better than products made specifically for that. I like it.

as the title mentions, the end of the hoe was a little smaller than what I was expecting. also, and this may be a plus...it looks like you can replace the end of the hoe (the small part I mentioned) if it needed to be replaced/repaired...this could be a good thing. the handle is lightweight and yet it feels solid. even though I was caught off guard by the size of the hoe ending, this may well be a good purchase.

this is my go to ,to do my weeding.. . Works best if you sharpen the edge and keep it sharp, I do it with a file. I keep it on me as I am working with it .. weeds and dirt ect dulls the edge fast.. Its light weight which makes it easy on my old body. The pointy end helps get the weeds from the the walk way . I keep extra's around because with a constant sharpening the end gets smaller and smaller.. For me its the best tool yet. My oldest ones is 8yrs old and still has life in it. I got worried I wouldn't find it again ,so that's why I bought more.

Just got it and have not used it, got it for composting but no digging.This is amazingly well constructed, and the ergonomics are outstanding.The D handle is contoured to fit your hand - the shaft is super comfortable also.Can't see how it would fail unless you were stupid with it.Would like to say the price jumped almost $20 after I purchased it. I got a deal. Score!Hope you can find one at a good price.Update 6-11-22:Used this for moving several tons of wood chips, turning garden soil, and yes, turning compost.It is a bit heavy for compost but does work. Balanced quite nicely, so the extra weight is a bonus if you want to build muscle. Would recommend a thin tined fork if you just want it for compost without the workout.Great for turning soil and moving wood chips. Sure, beats a shovel.Still recommend this highly. Price still fluctuates wildly so be patient if the price seems too high - it will come down eventually. Right now, it is less money here than from Fiskars.
