The 8 Best Longs (2023 reviews)

The hooyman long should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. It works for taller-than-average folk. It's similar to a manure fork, but this one is much more comfortable to use. It's a very sturdy pitchfork, and consequently it's very heavy. The handle looks to be metal and it has comfort grips. The tines are well shaped for picking up and tossing brush, and angled nicely for flipping mulch over.

The D handle is nice, and the length is good even for taller users. It's a very wide head as well.

Why We Like This:

Excellent for a home mulch job
Useful for hay, manure, compost turning
New and hot release

The fork is very nice, and goes into the ground easily. The working surface is polished (though not mirror) stainless.
