Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Discover garden tools unlike any you've ever held before. The Radius Garden Natural Radius Grip PRO Digging Fork #203 was designed using the most current research into human factors and tool usage. The patent-pending, Natural Radius Grip, maximizes your power and comfort while minimizing hand and wrist stress. Traditional garden tools force you to use your hands and wrists in a way that can cause injuries. The curve of the grip matches the curve of the palm of your hand. This allows you to hold the tools with your wrist in a safe, neutral position at all angles of attack. This maximizes power and comfort while minimizing wrist and hand stress. The large grips on Radius tools allow you to hold the tool securely without exerting pressure and wasting your energy. The PRO series tools feature four times the gripping surface of conventional tools, with room for both hands! The blades of these tools are made of a special aluminum/magnesium alloy. It weighs less than conventional die cast aluminum, but has strength similar to steel. The tools are lighter weight yet have equal or greater strength than traditional garden tools. The advanced ergonomic design should make gardening easier and more enjoyable. Built as professional quality tools, Radius Garden NRG PRO tools come with a lifetime guarantee.

Product Description

Dimensions: w 7.5", h 42.9". Stainless steel blade, extra large step, steel core shaft. Professional quality with a lifetime guarantee. Handle with 4 times the gripping surface.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Balanced Tools, December 2, 2008

By	Everett A. Warren (Northeast PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first came across these, I thought they looked neat, and maybe they might not function so bad. The look had additional marketing appeal for my landscaping company, something to set us aside from others.

However, I wasn't really sure they'd suit a functional purpose, so I tentatively ordered the shovel to give it a trial run and to see if I could live with it.

I've since gone out and stocked up on all the NRG-PRO tools, their hand tools, and I'm looking forward to at least some of the NRG-STX series tools as well.

All of the tools have a great balance. They are easier to control and carry materials across distances ~ a simple open hand across the circular handle keeps them from spinning and dropping whatever they're carrying. I've also found the handle design helps keep them from rolling or causing too much trouble when toting them around across the arms of a wheelbarrow.

The nice green does seem to get dulled quickly from the mud and, even when washed clean, still loses that new-tool shine. The business end has no such problems and remains easy to clean even when it has a right not to.

I'm tall ~ over 6' ~ and I never thought I'd like the short handles on these, however, I've found they're more comfortable even digging down below grade. This is a bit of personal taste, as my son, slightly shorter than I, prefers long handled tools.

I've snapped several expensive, pro-quality forks, and have yet to manage to do any damage to this one at all. I've mistaken it for a prybar, and used it to remove rocks of a variety of sizes. I've also used it to remove about 30 or so square feet of hosta, two mature lilacs, and a mature rose-of-sharon. On one job, this fork moved upwards of 11 cubic yards of mulch... and those are just some of the highlights!

If I could only have two of the NRG-PRO tools, it would be the spade and this fork. I don't know if I could whittle the choice down to one, and thankfully, I don't have to!

5.0 out of 5 stars Attractive and useful tool, May 2, 2009

By	R. Barron (Denver) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a dedicated tool nut I found this one almost too attractive to get dirty in the garden. Compared to the spading forks I found for sale in my town, this one appears to be the product of a more advanced civilization. The polished metal of the fork looks good, slides into the dirt smoothly, and is easy to hose off. The round handle really does provide for a more anatomically correct grip. The shaft feels slightly longer to me, which reduces the amount of back bending needed. I have read reviews complaining of breaking tines on the fork but this is a gardening and not a construction tool and should last a lifetime with proper use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool, May 7, 2008

By	Fred Bayley - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is absolutely the best garden fork I have used. The rounded handle gives me a better grip and more leverage. I was very impressed with the quality and durability of this fork. It is far superior to any other fork I have seen. It is a bargain.
