I loved this until...
I really love the design of this fork. The handle at the end and the curve and depth of the tines is great. Problem is this: you have to tighten the adjustable handle pretty tight to keep it sturdy when dealing with heavy mucking, and even then it doesn't hold. But boy howdy it won't budge when you try to loosen it to let the length back out (important when you're 6' tall). It's now stuck in a very short position that's simply not workable, and my best efforts are just not enough to loosen it. If this was offered in a non-adjustable option, I'd be all over it. As it is, this one lasted about 6 months but now I have to find something new. For the price, I expected better.

Best and only stall fork you will need
This "forever" fork may or may not last literally forever. But it will probably last longer than I will. It is fantastic. The best I have ever used and well worth the price. Horses have stood on it. I saw an ad where a car tire rolled over the forks. I won't test it that way, but I cannot praise this tool enough!

Great purchase !
Bought this fork because I have tendonitis in my hand and thought the handle might help. It did !!! I absolutely love it . Light weight and comfortable to use .

Light and easy
I love it - light weight - picks up a lot on any surface. Love the fact that it's adjustable.
Good product!

Light weight
I bought two! They are lightweight, no splinters and a generous size fork. The pain in the shoulder from pitching the poop has gone away along with the heavier wood handles forks. I highly recommend.

NOT IMPRESSED
The adjustable handle got stuck in a very short setting, when I got it unstuck the handle no longer locks, it is really annoying!

LOVE this pitchfork! But...
I got this pitchfork a year and a half ago. I have loved it since day 1! However, after about 6 months of use, the "knob" you turn to lengthen and shorten the handle stopped sticking and the handle started moving up and down. I fixed it by gluing the "knob" into place and carried on. I am now having problems with tines breaking off.
Despite these 2 issues, however, this is still my favorite pitchfork out of all the options I have. It is lightweight, tines aren't too close together or too far apart, the curve on the rake part is perfect, and I love the handle on top.

nothing special
I was hoping the design of this would be easier on my shoulder and wrists, but it is not much different than the fork I use. It is ok for stalls but does not work well on sand /mud areas as the fork is too flexible. Good idea if it was more functional.

Disappointed with Forever Fork
I always try to buy your SP products. They generally do not fail me. The Forever Fork has me dreading the name. No way I'll use this thing for an extended period of time.
I thought it was me, but reading the reviews, people have the same problem with the handle twisting. Suddenly, you need to be 4' tall. It's aggravating to be slopping around in the freezing cold, raking saturated manure, mud and hay with the rake twisting and the handle shortening.
I'm keeping it because I've used it, but would never buy another muck fork of this design again.

nice balance, but...
The fork is nicely balanced, and if only it would stay adjusted to the proper length, and not twist, I'd reorder. It had to be constantly adjusted. I've had it since April 2017, and it did last until today, when the handle cracked. I've used it twice a day for 2 stalls, so I did get a lot of use out of it. That said, it was billed as a "forever" fork, so you'd think the parts would be available for repair. Nope! What the heck?
