If like me you are on the tall side ,I found today that Lidles   have a new spade and fork set with handles about 8 inches longer than standard ! though I doubt they will handle real heavy work ,for £9.99 each they are worth a try

I spotted those.  Very nicely priced for us in the 6 foot and over brigade

I have been digging out autumn raspberries with them all fine so far

ooh good tip, will see if they still have any near me

I'm a shorthouse, but I do like a long handle on a fork or spade, all to do with fulcums and levers.  But, trying to buy long handles for replacements is a beggar.

Cheers,  Tony.

Worth trying De Wit or Sneeboer?  Both websites pretty useless and either don't list the products with enough detail or not at all!! and neither list any spare handles so I reckon you'd have to contact them to ask.  But their spades come with all sorts of lengths of handles as well as D and T shaped ends so I expect they do sell replacement handles :...

I buy 2 handles, one with a T bar end, one with a D end, then take the D end off and fit it to the end of the T bar handle, this usually gains me the length of the D handle (about 6").
