Spear & Jackson
Heritage English Gardening Tools

Forged by hand from a single piece of carbon steel and finished to perfection. It takes time, craftsmanship, and hard work to produce solid-socket garden tools, and there are only very few tool forges remaining that have the commitment to quality and the ability that it requires. Our solid-socket digging tools are superbly crafted at an English forge that has been producing fine tools since the mid 1700's. Handles are carefully fitted, weatherproofed straight-grained ash. The solid-socket carbon steel heads are ultra strong.
