This seemed like a reasonable tool for the first 10 minutes (literally) I used it, and then the fork broke off. I've had other spading forks which have bent, but this one sheared off cleanly. Amazon couldn't have been better about the return, but I wouldn't give it a second try.

This review is from: Ames True Temper Viper 4-Tine Spading Fork With D-Grip Fiberglass Handle 1890600 (Lawn & Patio)

The product is deceiving. Looks like a strong fiberglass fork, but actually a cheap wooden fork covered with a fiberglass shaft. It broke soon after I bought it. The hidden wooden shaft broke in half.

This review is from: Ames True Temper Viper 4-Tine Spading Fork With D-Grip Fiberglass Handle 1890600 (Lawn & Patio)

Very similar experience to the other reviewer who said the fork head broke off. I was using this fork to aerate my lawn when it broke. I'll add that the fiberglass handle isn't actually connected directly to the fork. Instead there is a smaller diameter wood handle running up the fiberglass handle that is holding the fork on. This is what broke. It's not hard to see why - it's much thinner than any wood handled fork you would buy.
