Cast Aluminum Handfork with Gel Grip

• Solid Cast Aluminum 
• Gel-Insert Rubber Grip
• Straight-Style Fork Tines
• Lifetime Warranty 

Cast Aluminum Handfork with Gel Grip is the perfect hand tool for short, repetitive work free from blisters. The polished, solid cast aluminum head resists corrosion and sheds soil more easily than rough-cast tools, so cleanup stays simple. Gel side inserts and a rubberized overmold give you a confident grip when your hands are dusty or damp. We bring this one on fertilizing days because the grip stays comfortable even when we're working bed after bed.

Its straight-style forks aren’t bent down like a cultivator, so provides more leverage for lifting and teasing the surface without gouging too deep. It works well for loosening the top layer of soil or mulch to help air and water move in, especially around perennials and small shrubs. It also makes quick work of mixing granular fertilizer or compost into the surface layer so it doesn’t sit in the sun.

Product Tips

• Use a light rocking motion to loosen crusted soil without disturbing shallow roots.
• Mix granular fertilizer into the top inch or two of soil to reduce sunlight breakdown.
• Rake mulch gently away from stems, then pull it back after you’ve aerated the surface.
• Rinse after use and hang it by the built-in hole to keep the grip clean.
• For tight plantings, work the tines in from the side rather than straight down.
