Description

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.

    • Root Slayer XL: Tough on Roots, Easy on You!
Style: Root Slayer XL
I absolutely love the Radius Garden 22511 Root Slayer XL! I had to dig out some stubborn hedge roots from my yard, and this tool truly gets the job done. It arrived safely this time, after I had to reorder because my previous order was lost in transit. The Root Slayer XL is incredibly effective at reaching those tough roots and breaking them up with ease. It’s a durable, reliable tool that makes root removal much less of a hassle—definitely worth the money and highly recommended for any serious gardener! ... show more

    • Very Pleased!!
Style: Root Slayer
Radius Garden Root Slayer Shovel - 2017 Green Thumb Award for Most Innovative Garden Tool I have been gardening for over 40 years and I have used most garden tools at one time or another. Occasionally a new innovative garden tool becomes available to gardeners, which is the case with the Radius Garden Root Slayer Shovel. It won the 2017 Green Thumb Award for Most Innovative Garden Tool, and rightfully so. This tool is well designed, very well made and does an excellent job of doing what it was designed to do, "slay roots." Well Designed: The Root Slayer was designed to be several tools in one. It's shape is part Drain Spade, part Digging Shovel, part Spade, and part Saw. The real beauty of the Root Slayer is the saw-toothed edges along the sides of the blade. The saw-toothed edges do indeed slay the roots of weeds, shrubs, trees, etc. These saw teeth are very sharp and saw right through any roots that are present when you are digging. This turns a difficult chore into a much easier task. The handle is circular in shape, which allows one's hands to grasp it from various angles. This will help prevent one's hands and wrists from becoming stressed from constantly being used at the same angle. The tip of the Root Slayer is very sharp, which is nice because every gardener knows that a sharp tipped digging tool works far better than a dull tipped garden tool. Well Constructed: The Root Slayer is very well made. The blade is heavy duty, rather than the flimsy construction of a lot of garden tools. The handle and shafts are also solid and heavy duty. As such, even a professional gardener can expect this tool to last for many years. The saw teeth along the edges are coarse-toothed, as opposed to fine-toothed. This coarse design prevents the teeth from getting clogged up by dirt, roots, etc. The ferrule (the place where the blade attaches to the shaft) is longer than most garden tools, definitely made for longevity. My Experience: When I received the Root Slayer, I put it to a rather thorough "field test". I quickly found out that it did a good job of doing what it was designed to do, "slay roots". I was impressed with how easily this tool sliced through most of the ever present roots of the nearby weeds, trees & shrubs. It sliced through the smaller roots with just one thrust of the tool. I used a sawing motion to slice through some of the larger roots, and the saw-toothed edges of the blade cut through these roots nicely. It also does a good job of digging, just like a spade or shovel. Recommendation: I am very pleased with this tool, and I highly recommend it for anyone who gardens; even a professional gardener will find the Root Slayer to be a nice and handy tool to have in their inventory of garden tools. As I mentioned earlier, "This tool is well designed, very well made and does an excellent job of doing what it was designed to do, 'slay roots'. " Happy Gardening to all! ... show more

    • If I was allowed to give 6 stars to one product per year, this would unquestionably be it
Style: Root Slayer
Review Image by pskrug pskrug
UPDATE: It's like 6 months or something after my first review, 18 months into ownership. I just added a photo of last weekend's project that was 100% done with Root Slayer. This thing is unreal. That Pieris Japonica was like 400lbs and 20+ years old and Root Slayer was enough to sever all the roots and dig a hole around it so I could roll it out. It took me two days, but Root Slayer was victorious yet again. ============================================================== Ok, this is my favorite purchase on Amazon in the past few years and I've made an embarrassingly large number of Amazon purchases. This shovel practically single-handedly enabled me to completely re-landscape my backyard. It is the most perfectly designed product for its purpose that I own. Here is why: Comfortable: The ergonomics are just great. The shovel is a great height for me (5'10") but is also easily used by my wife (5'). The circular handle makes so much sense once you use it and I question why this isn't the standard now because everything else feels so inferior now. The foot steps for really driving the shovel down fulfill their role flawlessly and I never miss or lose grip. Powerful: This thing is a total beast. I've pried serious roots and rocks with it that would easily crack my other shovels (and did). This think is sharp enough to power its way through roots if you put some force behind it. I've cut through 2"+ diameter roots with no issues with this. I've also used it to remove larger plans with strong root systems. It cut through all of them with no issue. It is really hard for me to fully convey just how powerful this thing is. I can't recommend it enough. Unmatched: This thing looks awesome and it backs it up with performance. Bottom Line: There is no suggestion I can give to make it better because it is perfect. It is very fairly priced given the performance, and if I lost mine, I'd happily buy another one even if it was $150, it's seriously that good. I mean maybe some color options would be fun, but that's totally not necessary. This is the best shovel (actually best yard tool) I own and I suspect it will remain so for the rest of my life. ... show more

    • Great tool- Every gardener must have!
Style: Root Slayer XL
Great spade. I had a rock and dirt pile I inherited from the previous owner. My traditional spade could not navigate this pile, but the Radius Gardener did. I used it to unearth cobblestones that we buried underneath grass. This tool work marvelously. It also is the tool of choice when breaking fallow soil grass and weeds. This tool is a must for breaking new soils for garden. ... show more
