Kent & Stowe Border Spade & Fork Duo - Silver

This duo is designed for detailed gardening tasks in confined spaces, such as edging beds, removing weeds from tight spots, and working with soil on borders and patios.

While durable, these tools are optimized for precision and smaller tasks. For extensive, heavy-duty digging in hard, compacted soil over large areas, larger, full-sized tools might be more appropriate.

Clean the handles after use and ensure they are dry. Periodically applying a wood oil will help protect the wood and maintain its grip and longevity.

The warranty typically covers manufacturing defects and faults in materials under normal use. It's advisable to check the specific terms and conditions provided by Kent & Stowe for full details.

Yes, the spade and fork are excellent for tasks like clearing moss and weeds from between paving slabs and for general tidying around patios.

Stainless steel is highly resistant to rust, but not entirely immune. Proper cleaning and drying after each use will significantly prevent any rust formation.

Specific dimensions are not provided, but the description indicates they are compact and designed for border and patio use, implying smaller than standard garden tools.

Ensure the tool is clean and dry after each use. For persistent sticking, consider applying a light coat of paste wax to the metal head after cleaning and drying.

Apply a coat of wood oil or linseed oil to the handle and allow it to soak in. Wipe off any excess. This will help restore moisture and smoothness.

Light rust spots can usually be removed with a fine-grit abrasive pad or a specialized stainless steel cleaner. Ensure the tool is thoroughly dried after cleaning and stored in a dry place.

Check for any debris caught around the junction of the head and handle. Ensure the spade edge is not damaged or excessively dulled; minor sharpening may be possible with a metal file if needed, but focus on cleaning and proper technique first.
