OMG..did you buy it over here? - have you got the receipt and original packaging- and remember where you bought it from????

Hopefully it was the UK and you can swap it when you're next over????...do you have a back up - or is it still usable????


Boy....you MUST be strong!

[tootles]

No, I didn't buy it over here (just as well - have you tried getting a refund/replacement here yet?). In fact I didn't buy it at all, we inherited it with our last house.
I'm not sure it is still useable though, I might try a reverse attempt at the root that bent it in the first place??!

Was it hot when you bent it Tootles they bend easier in hot weather!!!?

Are you trying to suggest that I am not stronger than Geoff Capes on a particularly strong day??

(the sun was out though)

Just a thought.....

if it's fairly old, it'll probably be of a better quality than the ones you buy now.
How about taking a photo before you straighten it- and e-mail them with a letter of complaint ( head office of Spear and Jackson)..tell them it's not fit for the purpose- even though it's not within warrenty...they may be able to do something for you!
To be honest- it MUST be faulty if it's bent- otherwise they wouldn't have declared it to be unbendable! ..give it a go!

Tootles, I've got a similar problem with exactly the same make and model, stainless steel jobbie.

Mine's going to the local blacksmith to see if he can sort it. If I put one of the tines out of shape on the other forks I have I do it myself, club hammer over a nice soft log.

As long as your tongue is sharper than the forks.

email spear and jackson and tell them, you may be pleasantly surprised.........i had one for 8 years and it was an 'unbreakable' until it broke, I contacted them and they sent me a new one!!""!

Mine bent too (on a bramble root) ... I took it back to Asda from whence it came, and got a refund.

I had one of their hand forks. One spear is now buried somewhere in the garden as it broke off. Never did find it. A 2 pronged handfork works almost as well lol
