## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long are the tines/prongs on this fork?  I need long prongs for aerating.  Thank you.**
A: Hi Julie. The tines are a smidge over 10.5 inches. I have aerated using this for, but to be honest, I found the times too long and thick.  I have a smaller fork wit thinner tines about 8 inches which I prefer.  This gets me down to between 4 and 6 inches depending on the sub-structure/builders rubble equation.Hope this helpsDave B

**Q: How long are the tines?**
A: 22.5 cm this is a well balanced fork and not too heavy.

**Q: how long is it in total**
A: 1020 mm  or if like me 3ft 4 1/4 "

**Q: I'I'd like this to be a gift - can the shaft be engraved with a message? Do you know of a company who can do this please?**
A: Timpsons can usually engrave anything.. but ring the manufacturers may help to solve  your problem..

This is an excellent fork head but I have had to replace the handle twice in the four years I've had it. Buying a new one because it is such a hassle getting the handle off the old one.
