Why Clarington Forge Tools are the best
Solid Forged for Exceptional Strength

Clarington Forge heads and sockets are forged from a single piece of steel, and then securely attached to the shaft. The absence of welding eliminates points of weakness, resulting in a durable, longer lasting tool

The Strongest Socket

Clarington Forge Tools recognizes that where the shaft joins the socket is potentially the weakest point of the spade. Bulldog buries the shaft deep inside the socket, increasing the durability and resilience of the tool’s inherent strength, ensuring it is able to withstand the toughest of use.
