These tools are not designed to dig in the dirt. Rather they are designed to transfer or move stuff from one place to another. The transfer shovel is good for loading a wheel barrow with dirt or gravel. The transfer fork is used to move mulch or manure or other soft materials that hold together.

Fiskars Compost/Mulch Fork

The Fiskars Compost/Mulch fork's oval pointed tines lift and transfer materials efficiently. Its longer, comfortable handle provides better control and leverage to scoop, turn, spread, and aerate compost piles. It is an excellent tool for moving and spreading wood chips as mulch.

It will be available in the spring of 2004 with a suggested retail price of $29.
