Burgon & Ball - RHS Stainless Digging Fork – Professional Heavy-Duty Cultivating Tool

Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Digging Fork – Professional Heavy-Duty Cultivating Tool

The Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Digging Fork is a powerhouse of durability and ergonomic design, built to handle the most demanding soil conditions. Tested to a breaking strain of 100kg—exceeding the British standard by 82%—this fork is engineered for high-leverage tasks without the risk of bending. Combining a longer handle to protect your back with exceptionally strong, rolled tines, it turns heavy cultivation into a more efficient and comfortable experience.

Best For: Gardeners requiring maximum strength for breaking up compacted soil, turning compost, or heavy digging, especially those who prefer a longer reach to reduce spinal strain.

Key Features

• Exceptional Tine Strength: The stainless steel tines are rolled rather than just cut, providing outstanding resistance to bending and ensuring they slide easily through even the heaviest soil.

• Back-Saving Ergonomics: Features a longer-than-average handle crafted from FSC-certified hardwood, designed to reduce the need for deep bending and minimize back fatigue during extended use.

• Industrial-Grade Socket: An extra-long, double-riveted strapped socket adds immense strength at the critical joint while allowing a slight flex to absorb shock during heavy-duty work.

• Rust-Resistant Finish: The high-quality stainless steel construction ensures the tool remains rust-free and easy to clean, maintaining its performance for years.

• RHS Endorsement: Officially endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society and backed by a lifetime guarantee, representing the highest standard of quality available to the home gardener.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
