Key Features of Wilkinson Sword Garden Hand Tools

The right tool design makes a noticeable difference over a full day of work. These are the points to look at when comparing Wilkinson Sword Garden Hand Tools:

• Task-specific heads: spade, fork, hoe and rake heads are shaped for their job, so they cut, lift, turn or level soil with less wasted effort.
• Long and short handle options: long-handled tools such as spades, shovels and rakes give leverage and reach while reducing bending. Short-handled hand forks and trowels offer precision in borders and containers.
• Hardwearing construction: tools are made for repeated use in heavy, stony or clay soil, with strong blades and tines that resist bending under load.
• Comfortable grips: handle shapes help you keep control during long digging or raking sessions and reduce hand fatigue.
• Specialist tools: edging irons, bulb planters, dibbers and weeders handle jobs that general tools do poorly, giving neater, quicker results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a spade and a shovel?

A spade has a flatter, sharper blade for cutting into soil and lifting neat sections, while a shovel has a more curved, scooped blade for moving loose material such as soil, sand or compost.

Which Wilkinson Sword tool is best for heavy clay soil?

A garden fork or cultivator is a good starting point, as the tines break up compacted ground more easily than a solid blade. A spade then helps with lifting and turning.

Do I need both a hand fork and a trowel?

Ideally yes. A trowel is best for planting and lifting individual plants, while a hand fork loosens soil and removes weeds around them.
