I rate the digging fork a two star only because of the great Craftsman warranty. The fork itself is not great. I have two Craftsman digging forks - an older one made in the USA and a more recent one that was made in China. The fiberglass handle of the newer one cracked. The tines on the older fork are at a 90 degree angle to the D handle which gives them much more strength. The US made fork is a much better design and implementation. The new replacement fork is assembled in the US. The tines are made in Austria. The quality appears to be even lower than the one which broke. The grip on the D handle is smooth rather than grooved making it more difficult to grip securely. The connection between the handle and the tines also does not have the ring covering the connection. It would look better with that covering and possibly be stronger. Of the five forks in stock, three already had their labels (with the UPC and other information) missing or barely attached to to the handle.

I have two of these and use them heavily in my large garden and in landscaping. They are excellent high quality tools. Very strong. Years ago, I left one of these outside in the sunshine for a couple weeks ? big mistake. The key to these Craftsman tools ? or any tools with fiberglass handles ? is to store them in a shed or a garage. Sunlight devastates the resins in the fiberglass. I have many Sears hand tools ? I will not buy any other brand. These tools are the best. Most Craftsman hand tools are made in the USA and have a lifetime warranty: this is why I support Sears over the "big box" depot type stores. Thanks for the great tools Sears.

This tool was a warranty replacement for another one that broke after a couple of years use. I wouldn't give you a plug nickle for this one either! A tine bent and, last Saturday, the entire handle began to twist at the middle joint when using it as a cultivating tool. Adding insult to injury, I will have to drive nearly 60 miles to the closest Sears store that actually stocks this piece of trash in order to get a 'replacement under warranty'! And at nearly $4/gallon for gas. This is but another reason that I almost never shop Sears except out of total desperation, or to get an item replaced that is, like this one, 'under warranty'. Save your time and save your money. Buy one somewhere else, anywhere else!
