It has been several (*3) years since I last had this model (203). After only 3 or so months of using it, it broke at the handle, as it has done for several other owners. Considering my original purchase cost close to $50, at least I'll get 3 years of use out of it. It's true they don't rust at all, and they look cute, too I have found that after using my steel tools for three years, this one enters the ground easier than mine. However, I prefer to spray WD-40 over my stainless steel ones Over the winter, rust can be prevented by applying 40 over the wheels to make The recent comments from people with similar experiences and what they had to go through to get a replacement when they broke has left me wondering whether I should spend $25 to get a steel True Temper or maybe spend $30 on the Kobalt (Lowes) fiberglass handle fork. It has been 30 years since my forks broke and none of them have been American made. Now that I'm 76 years old, all I want is another 15 years of use! In an earlier posting, I talked about how I had a similar experience with a A section of the shovel held together at the end of the handle but broke around half way down! As long as I can use it for plants less than 6 to 8 inches deep, I can use it as a "long handled garden spade. " Thus far, the Radius 202 Shovel has proven to be durable and reliable!.
As soon as they noticed that the fork had been welded to the shaft, they sent me a new one right away. Worked like a charm with the new one.
The tool seemed to have a sturdy construction. The reason I bought it was because I never planned on buying It was ordered in 2010 and I have barely used it so far. The tines snapped with very little effort today right at the joint where the handle connects to the tines. I tried to find an Amazon support contact at Radius tools, but they were extremely well hidden, just like Amazon's now. In the future, I will not purchase any more Radius Garden tools, and I am now very closely monitoring Amazon, as they do not appear to be the same company as they were in the past. I am updating Their service is not broken, but their tool is. They called me back the next Tuesday after I called them on the weekend. I have a new digger a week later. RadiusGarden, thanks for the kind words!.
This is not a recommendation! The digging fork broke as fast as the plastic fork at the family BBQ, as well as they claim they do not honor their "life time warranty" if your property is not less than a certain amount of acres, regardless of how the digging fork was used. A representative of the company even went online to find out how big my farm was before assuming a digging fork used at a commercial scale without checking if it were true. Customer service was terrible, and the product was even worse!.
Since I was 8, my mother taught me how to use a spading fork and to garden. The last one I owned was when I was 63 years old. When it comes to breaking up hard, dry clay soil beneath heavy compacted layers, a spading fork is undoubtedly the most effective hand tool. Though my mother's spading fork lasted for decades, every other spading fork I've owned broke or bent after a few months or After receiving my Radius 203 PRO last weekend, I have immediately put it to work in parts of my yard that I haven't been able to cultivate in at least five There is heavy adobe clay in the soil where I live, and it dries out like brick when it is exposed to sunlight. was a little difficult to force the fork into the dirt, but once it was there, I was able to pry up large blocks of dirt with no obvious signs of damage Despite putting full weight on the handle, it didn't creak even when I was pushing with all my strength. Although I have not had it for very long, it appears to be very well made and I am confident I can use it for many.
It was recommended by others and I ordered it for the user-friendly design and price The contact handle is friendly. My favorite part of using this tool was how well it worked to dig up several established perennials that I transplanted into During the installation process, I shovelled it into the ground and rocked it forward and back all around the plant, as shown in the videos Once they were lifted out, the roots were easily removed. As I dug, quite a bit of soil came along with it. The roots looked much more intact than I had ever seen before. As of this writing, I have not lost a plant I dug up with a fork. I dug it up in August when the soil was dry and hard. Though I've yet to tackle some overgrown daylily clumps, I think this should work well. Comes with a sturdy feel and I really like the look of.
