FAQs
What makes this digging fork 'professional' grade?
It's constructed with a solid-forged carbon steel head and socket, designed to exceed industry load tests, and features a durable hardwood shaft, all built for heavy-duty, frequent use.
How should I clean the digging fork after use?
Wipe off excess soil with a damp cloth or use a stiff brush. Avoid harsh detergents. Ensure it is dry before storing.
What is the MYD handle?
MYD refers to the type of handle, often indicating a shape or material designed for ergonomic comfort and a secure grip, reducing user fatigue during intensive work.
Does the 10-year guarantee cover normal wear and tear?
The guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects and structural failures under normal intended use. It generally does not cover cosmetic wear or damage from extreme misuse.
Can this fork be used for prying or levering?
While the fork is very strong, its primary purpose is digging and soil turning. Prying or excessive levering against immovable objects could stress the head-shaft connection and is not recommended for optimal longevity.
Is the powder coating on the head durable?
Yes, the hammer finish powder coating is designed for improved resistance to rust, scratches, humidity, and soil alkalis, helping to maintain the tool's integrity and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Tool feels loose at the head/shaft connection.
Inspect the riveting. If the rivets appear damaged or loose, contact Spear and Jackson customer service regarding your 10-year guarantee for potential repair or replacement.
Head appears to be bending or showing signs of stress.
This tool is designed to exceed load tests. If significant bending occurs, it may indicate misuse or a manufacturing defect. Cease use and consult the 10-year guarantee policy.
Wooden handle splinters or cracks.
Minor splinters can often be smoothed with fine-grit sandpaper. For significant cracks, contact Spear and Jackson customer service, as this may be covered under the guarantee.
