I have a lot of old inherited tools. I restored a five tined pitchfork and a four tined digging fork. New digging forks usually have a D handle on them. I like the long handle so I can use it like a shovel. These worked just fine. Looks like they will last a long time. I've restored some hammers and another fork that are a lot older than me. Beaver-tooth makes handles I am happy to put on these heirlooms. From farmers and construction guys in the 40s and 50s. Most of the tools are in good shape but I've used some of them harder than I should have.
