Just snapped my wonderfful ancient garden fork

WAMS

All my own fault, I pushed it too far as the ground is just too hard where I was digging.

What would be a good replacement, please? Are there any bargains to be had?

Some info here on various makes. 
I would definitely advise trying in person at a garden centre/DIY place if you can.

Edited to add, if you have a Men's shed or similar near you, they might be able to repair it, depending on the damage.

Was it the tines or the handle that snapped?

Often local auctions sell old garden tools. I got an amazing amount for £26 bid.  A lot better quality than a lot of newly made tools.

Thank you for the replies. It was the handle that snapped. I will peruse that other thread!

If it's the handle, you could get it repaired . Not quite Trigger's broom territory yet😉

Yes, easy to get replacement handles; local agricultural suppliers usually have them

If the two halves will knit together, it may be possible to glue them together and then whip over the top of them to create a firm join.  I repaired a neighbour's shovel that way.  It just depends how precious the old one is?

I did end up ordering a cheapish S&J border fork, but i will give repairing it a go! It's not precious at all, but my garden robins seem to particularly like resting on its handle while looking over freshly-turned soil, so I'd like to save it for their sake.

God that sounds inane written down.😁

I think it's lovely @WhereAreMySecateurs 😊

Even if it can't be repaired well enough to use, it should be possible to do a good enough job for a permanent robin perch
