Scooped shape and sturdy forged tines greatly increase the effectiveness of this tool vs. others I have tried.
I have used it to pick up mulch and turn compost. It is built well tines seem heavy, nice wood handle. Metal has not come loose and seems to be attached well. It is not that old but seems to be built to last.
The fork itself is decent quality, but strenuous to use for a length of time at 7lbs. vs. many other brands weighing in at 4-5lbs.
We have in the past used different makes of this fork. We found the Leonard Fork stands up better where the fork and handle meet than other forks.
Great quality but tines need to be sharpened.
A.M. Leonard responds: By design our tines are beveled to make them sharp enough to penetrate mulch and other materials.
