Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Mid Handled Fork – Professional Extended Reach Cultivator

The Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Mid Handled Fork is the essential companion to the mid-handled trowel, offering superior leverage and reach for precision gardening. Measuring 47cm in length, this tool is specifically designed to eliminate the strain of overstretching. Whether you are working in the deep recesses of a garden border or tending to a raised bed, this fork allows you to cultivate soil and remove weeds with the control of a hand tool but the added convenience of an extended reach.

Best For: Gardeners who need to maintain raised beds or deep borders without stepping onto the soil, and those who prefer a tool that provides extra leverage for breaking up compacted earth.

Key Features

• High-Carbon Forged Tang: The neck is precision forged using a specialized high-carbon steel, angled perfectly for ergonomic use and reinforced to handle maximum pressure at the tool's key stress point.

• Rust-Resistant Finish: The mirror-polished stainless steel head ensures effortless movement through soil and resists corrosion, staying bright and functional for decades.
