This is a 5-tine garden pitchfork for turning compost, scooping mulch and working garden bed soil. The fork head is made of manganese steel and formed in one piece by forging. The conical solid teeth pass through compost easily and do not bend or deform under a full load.
The handle is orange fiberglass, which is easy to spot when left in the grass and does not break the way wooden handles can. The head is set into the handle and fixed with double rivets so it stays tight with long use. The handle has a soft, anti-slip material that protects the hands.
The fork is 57 inches long, which reduces the angle of bending and the pressure on the back. It weighs 3.5 pounds and is balanced so it does not shake when lifting. It can be used to turn over soil, remove roots and debris, turn compost and stack a mulch pile.
