The spear and jackson select carbon border fork is a versatile digging and cultivating tool designed for working in confined spaces and lighter ground preparation tasks. Offering a lighter alternative to a full sized digging fork, this border fork features a compact head size of 230mm x 138mm, making it ideal for working between established plants, cultivating raised beds, and turning soil in narrow borders where a standard fork would be too cumbersome.

The powder coated finish provides excellent resistance to rust, scratches, humidity and alkalis commonly found in soil, extending the tool's working life even in demanding conditions.
