I am an avid gardener, have used digging forks extensively, but have never seen a thing like this. On the second time I used the tool, it broke under not too much stress. The breaking point was between the fork and the handle. The handle itself did not bend or break, and no tine bent. The best way to describe it is that the handle and the fork had just separated from each other. I was curious and looked at the breakage point, and what I saw was very surprising. At the bottom end of the handle part I saw the end of a rusty metal rod, with no tear marks, enveloped in stainless steel plating. I assume this rod goes up into the handle. On the horizontal, top part of the fork, I saw a rusty flat surface, peering out of stainless steel coating. Again, it was smooth, no tear marks. It was the stainless steel coating that broke. Its thickness was about one tenth of an inch, and that had held the two parts of the digging fork together. In summary, in the light of what I have observed, my understanding is that this digging fork was made of two rusty parts held together by an enveloping layer of stainless steel, which in itself was not too strong. The wooden part of the handle seemed solid...
It does not seem to me that selling a rusty tool coated with handsome stainless steel is a good or honest practice.
