I'm 5'2" and the round handle works well for a short person who has carpel tunnel. I can move my hand to the best location on the handle to get the job done. What's funny that for a short person, I have longer legs so and in FL the plant roots go down quite far in the sand, so it fits the plants and it fits me. I also like that it is full ss because my last fork had a wooden handle that rotted due to moisture.
