Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Brook & Hunter build unmatched, world class garden tools. They have a unique appearance and capable of standing up to rigorous use. They require very little maintenance, yet are able to last substantially longer than other tools in the market. But most importantly, Brook & Hunter garden tools are treasured by the gardeners who use them. For the handle, they are made of extremely dense wood, a wood that is readily available and recognized by craftsmen as strong and durable. They have material strong enough to be used in flooring and as structural supports in construction. They have also found a way to shape into a D-handle and implement a method of finishing subtle enough to preserve the feel and beauty of the wood. They use great care and patience, always ensuring the natural shape, beauty and strength of the materials. This is an excellent gigging fork. This tool is a standard size for turning over soil and preparing areas for planting. It is also an excellent tool for turning over your compost bin. A must have for all gardeners. It features a "handcrafted red oak wooden handle" of the highest quality and a multi-layer polished fork made from the highest quality Stainless Steel. This product has a lifetime warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE! Counterfeit British Garden Tool, October 25, 2009

This review is from: Brook & Hunter 11020DY Premium Digging Fork with a Handcrafted Red Oak Handle and a Stainless Steel Alloy Polished Blade, 43-Inch long (Lawn & Patio)

Warning!

Seems a simple choice: Read reviews of garden tools elsewhere online; Come to Amazon to buy; See top quality British garden tools. Then see Brook & Hunter alternative suggested in the sidebar. Hmmm, looks like the more expensive British tool at a lower price. Name could be American...let's buy that, save $30 and perhaps keep some jobs at home.

When the tool arrived, its crooked tines were a surprise. I examined closely. Uh oh! No country of origin stamped anywhere--and that usually means you know who: the toy and puppy poisoners of PRC. Read the "life guarantee" : badly fractured English. The factory in Guangdong printed "delicate" when copying "dedicated" from the label on a British tool they copied.

I looked at the tines again: more than crooked, each one a different shape--a very shoddy copy of tools sold at better garden shops.

Think you are getting the equivalent of an $89 British tool for $59?

Think again. You are getting ripped off. You can buy Chinese tools at Ace hardware for half the price.

This is a $15 cheapy with a shiny finish. Try collecting on the "guarantee" in a couple years when the distributor and factory have moved on to operate under a different name.

Beware. Don't waste your money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shame on you, Amazon., August 11, 2010

OK, the digging fork (and shovel, read my review on that) work well, are made as advertised, BUT they are NOT genuine Brook and Hunter products. How can you tell? If you read the 'guarantee' which comes with it, you will, if you speak English as a native speaker, see that it is full of spelling and grammatical errors. Obviously a poor translation from English, to say, maybe Chinese, then back again into English? But the shovel and fork are working well for over a year, so I cannot complain about that. But I don't like being hoodwinked into thinking it's the real article! Be forewarned, customers.

2.0 out of 5 stars Broke easily, August 29, 2009

I used this fork 4 times and it broke easily. I was digging Aralia nudacalis roots in gravel and the handle snapped. I was hoping it would be stronger, but it is pretty.
