  • 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

  • Excellent shovel for stubborn people who don't want to hire someone!
Style: Root Slayer
I bought the Root Slayer to try to dig up the roots of a 50+ year old privet hedge that I had cut down. I was able to dig up some pretty big root balls pretty quickly... probably bigger than the shovel is actually intended for! It is strenuous work, but I think I would have had to hire someone or rent a grinder otherwise. The shovel is easy to use, built very strong, and well-designed. I'm pretty strong, but roots of the hedge were very developed. My technique involved digging out around a portion, and then working the shovel under it at an angle and prying it up. I really like the design - the footstep is sturdy and wide enough that you can hop up on it comfortably to use your body weight, but you can also kick it to get it in deeper when it's at an angle. The serration and the cutting edge really do the work. I know it's probably not the right way to go about it, but once I had the shovel under the root ball, I hopped up onto the handle to use my body weight to pry it out. From this, I can tell you that the shovel is very durable and the handle can support the weight of an adult woman. Good stuff, very happy with this tool! ... show more

  • Best Garden Tool for Roots and Tough Plants
Style: Root Slayer
(I will add pictures later to show the devastation this shovel has caused to roots) Hands down the best tool I have used for taking care of roots. We're in quarantine, and I'm bored, so I decided I wanted to take on the task of removing a fairly large stump in our backyard by hand, (don't judge). First, I bought a pulaski (axe+root cutter). This was fine, but a lot of work to get through some medium sized roots that didn't seem like I should be expending THAT much energy on. I'm not an expert with the thing, but it takes some work to use. I was looking for a better shovel to replace the old one we inherited when we purchased our house last summer. I saw this on Amazon and ordered it to give it a shot, and wow. Instantly I was impressed. This thing slices through all the crap in the ground, and if I hit a root that's too large, I can take a few steps on the shovel to saw through it. Now, mind you, if you get VERY large roots, you're going to want the pulaski tool, as those will take forever to saw through (not that this can't handle those - you know I've tested it). All this praise, and what are the downsides? It's not a great shovel for moving dirt. The actual head on this thing is rather narrow, so make sure this isn't the only shovel you have around (I'll be purchasing their round shovel head to compliment this). I've seen photos with this shovel being snapped. I'm honestly flabbergasted after using this thing for 2 weekends. Either they got a defective shovel OR they are not properly using it. That may sound stupid, but you should NOT be using this to pry at solid objects in the ground. I'm not saying you can't pry a bit, but if you're met with significant resistance, don't use any shovel to do that job. You're going to break any shovel you use. Under normal circumstances and A LOT of beating in 2 weekends, this shovel is up there with the most sturdy tools I've used (I used to do landscaping for a city a number of years ago, so I do have some experience). I'm not saying it can't or won't break on you, but it should take plenty of punishment before it does, assuming you're using it properly. Are you having trouble with your shovel constantly hitting roots and needing to bend down to cut them? Buy this shovel. Are you have trouble getting through thick ground cover or hard earth? Buy this shovel. Update in 2022: no issues with the shovel. I haven't worked it quite as hard as I did on getting the stump out, and I have done some sharpening on it, but it's working great so far. ... show more

  • Love it!
Style: Root Slayer
Definitely worth the money! Probably one of the best tools I have for yard work. My neighbor had one and let me borrow his I immediately went and bought my own. I have been able to dig holes to transplant a couple of trees and several shrubs and this tool makes it easy to cut through roots
