Tools sent from heaven!

My stepdad took my broken spade a few weeks back and brought it back today with a new, super long handle and omg its amazing! So much easier to use and less strain on my back!
The other 'forky type thing' I've never seen before but it has made clearing an overgrown patch of land a doddle.
Just thought i'd share!

 

Cor, thats longer than my American Shovel

 

I use an Azada for chopping into rough ground (plus earthing up spuds). Have a look at this site which has both the tools in post #1

When he's finished my digging I'll let you know! Haha!

 

the 'forky type thing' in the OP is known as a "garden hook" or "rose hook" and also looks like a potato hoe.

Very useful little tool.

and totally agree with the long handle spade / shovel thing

 

Looks great tool. Thanks for sharing.
