It’s a tapered fit you need to adjust fit quite a bit in my case but that is the way it is. I worked at it a made it fit, lots of test fittings and then done I made a rivet out of a large nail, drilled hole through wood slightly smaller than the nail drove it through easily,do not want to split wood and riveted end. Competent DIY easy. Used fork a few times already no problem. Treated with boiled Linseed oil. Do not leave in greenhouse to dry out and become weaker! like I did, put the tools away in the shed. Treat with Linseed oil once a year.

I would have liked a shorter version of the handle but it was easy to fit and the extra length will mean that I don't have to bend over so far when leaning on it admiring the weeds growing

Love the handle, Like that it is all wood and not plastic at the top like lots of others. Good length. Would have liked fixings included, they were quite expensive to buy separately but could be bought in bulk and provided cheaper with the handle.

Pity that the handle splay/split (in both handles) had small chip of timber missing. This marginally impairs the strength. It was surprisingly also present in a handle purchased a few years ago - 3 cases out of 3 possibly indicates that the supplier is regularly being fobbed off with sub-standard stock that has failed 100% inspection.

Had to trim the length a bit and re-shape the shamfer to fit into the spade socket, but all worked out fine. I secured in place with a nail but it would be useful to have a rivet supplied.
