Description

Roughneck Digging Fork 180 × 1070mm

Built for demanding garden, landscaping and groundwork jobs, the Roughneck Digging Fork combines heavy-duty steel tines with a lightweight fibreglass handle. Its strong, practical construction makes it an excellent choice for breaking compacted ground, turning soil, aerating beds and clearing loose debris.

The heat-treated tines are engineered to withstand repeated contact with firm ground. A tumble-lacquered finish adds protection against corrosion and everyday wear, helping the fork remain dependable through regular outdoor use.

Roughneck’s Power Ring connection incorporates a steel-reinforced plug to strengthen the critical joint between the fork head and handle. This robust connection helps transfer force effectively when digging into heavy soil or levering material from the ground.

A tubular fibreglass shaft keeps the tool strong without adding unnecessary weight. Unlike a traditional timber handle, fibreglass will not rot or swell when exposed to damp conditions. The double-injected D-grip features a comfortable soft-touch surface, providing secure control for digging, lifting and turning.
