Boron steel is stronger, more durable and tougher than a like-for-like carbon steel tool – without adding extra weight. It’s also better at holding an edge, so the tines of this super-tough garden fork stay sharper for longer.

This border fork has been load tested to 100kg – that’s far in excess of the BS3388 British standard of 55kg. The steel is 80% from recycled sources, believed to be a first in UK garden tools.

A tough powder coating in a distinctive green helps protect from rust. The patent-pending thermo-treated handle in FSC®-certified white ash is designed for comfort, increased durability and moisture resistance. The handle has a comfortable 'Y' grip, double riveted at the base for strength. An extra-long, double-riveted strapped socket introduces strength and an element of flex at this key joint.

BoronGreen digging fork is endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, perhaps the ultimate accolade in the gardening world. Like all RHS-endorsed BoronGreen tools, this fork is covered by a 25-year guarantee
