Product Information

Full details

The Gardena ErgoLine Spading Fork (model 17013-20) is designed for gardeners who need a comfortable and efficient tool for soil work, especially in planted areas. Its key benefit is enabling root-gentle digging, lifting, and loosening of soil with an ergonomic grip that reduces strain. A potential caveat is its specialized design, which might be less versatile for heavy-duty tasks than a standard spade.

FAQs

What is the primary use of the Gardena ErgoLine Spading Fork?

It is primarily designed for root-gentle digging, lifting, loosening, and transferring soil, especially in planted areas where root protection is important.

What material are the tines made of?

The tines are made of hardened quality steel.

How do I ensure a comfortable grip?

The extra-wide, ergonomically shaped D-handle allows for comfortable two-handed operation, and the extended plastic coating on the shaft provides a non-slip, comfortable grip.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Gardena ErgoLine Spading Fork comes with a 25-year warranty.

Can this tool be used for heavy-duty digging?

While durable, it is optimized for tasks in planted areas. For extremely compacted or rocky soil, a heavier-duty spade might be more suitable.

How many tines does the fork have?

The fork has 4 tines.

What is the advantage of the oval shaft profile?

The oval shaft profile prevents the unintentional rotation of the handle, ensuring a more stable and secure grip during use.

Troubleshooting

Tines feel loose from the handle

Inspect the connection point between the tines and the shaft. If there is visible damage or loosening, contact Gardena customer support regarding the warranty.

Difficulty penetrating hard soil

Ensure you are using proper digging technique, applying downward pressure evenly. For very hard soil, consider pre-soaking the area or using a heavier-duty tool if this one proves insufficient.

Handle plastic covering peeling or damaged

This is typically a sign of wear. While the tool is designed for comfort, extensive damage might be covered under warranty. Contact Gardena customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This tool requires no assembly. It is ready for immediate use upon unboxing.

Compatibility:

The Gardena ErgoLine Spading Fork is a manual garden tool compatible with all soil types for general gardening tasks. It is designed for hand operation and does not interface with other powered garden systems.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, remove soil and debris from the tines and shaft. A damp cloth or a soft brush is usually sufficient. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the spading fork in a dry place, ideally hanging it up or placing it where it will not be exposed to moisture to prevent rust and prolong its lifespan.
  • Maintenance: Periodically inspect the tines and handle for any signs of damage. Ensure the shaft and handle connection remain secure.
