Roots always seem to get in the way of digging, whether you expect them or not. Once you switch to the Root Slayer you might not even notice them most of the time. The Root Slayer is really a multi-purpose shovel that can eliminate the need for other tools, such as hatchets, pry-bars, and saws, when simply digging around the home. If you’ve ever hit roots while trying to plant a perennial, or been stymied by roots when trying to dig up a shrub, you’ll know what we’re talking about. You can use the Root Slayer as your go-to shovel. You can also use it to replace your nursery spade. Think of it as a shovel, root hatchet, and root saw all in one tool. The Root Slayer is 44.5 inches from the tip of the blade to the top of the grip. The blade is 2.5mm thick (just thicker than 13 gauge) and just under 13 inches long, with 3.5 inch steps. It weighs 5.4 pounds.

Customers say
Customers find this garden shovel to be a significant improvement over standard tools, praising its heavyweight steel blade and strong handle that provides great leverage. The shovel excels at cutting through roots, including those up to an inch thick, and works particularly well in rocky clay soil. They appreciate its effectiveness in digging through heavily rooted areas and find it makes gardening tasks easier. While customers consider it well worth the money, they note it is not lightweight.
