The Neversink Broadfork is built to last a lifetime, while it is light and easy to use. Tines from bottom of bar to tip are 10.75”. They are 6” apart on center. Broadfork is 26.5” wide. From the step bar to the top of the handle, the measurement is 47" Your Choice: All Wood version is a light 15.7 lbs. and perfect for regular aeration of already prepared growing beds. Wood would not be the best choice for removing rocks, very compacted ground or for virgin soil. While ash wood has the highest breaking strength, a wood handle can break largely because you have a significant amount of leverage with a two-handle broad fork and the forged tines will not bend. Bottom Steel version is heavier at 20.5 lbs. but you will not break the steel handle. Steel is a good choice for rocky or hard compacted ground.
