Description

The Root Slayer 42-Inch Carbon Steel Trench Spade is a durable turf edger tool that gives you optimal leverage for more digging power and wide foot placement that allows you to dig deeper, while also functioning as a root saw. The blade is capable of penetrating hard-packed soil and entangled roots. You can now make perfect channels and trenches with less effort. It is a narrower version of the Root Slayer Shovel, yet it has the same heavy-duty digging capabilities of the original Root Slayer.

    • Fantastic tool for everyday tasks
Style: Trench Spade
I was struggling to get through hard earth with tons of roots. This thing made it so much easier. I didn't know if I was going to use it again after that project but now I use it all the time. Awesome tool.

    • Fantastic for a car in snow!!!
Style: Trench Spade
Review Image by đź« 
I can't say how much I love this shovel let me tell you I ONLY use it to shovel snow not for its intended gardening purposes. So it's hard to explain but the size and shape of the blade makes it FANTASTIC for digging out your car when the plow boxes it in, it cuts like a knife to get the icy hard snow it is awesome. Also getting snow out from the sides of your tires is just fantastic, and one last thing it's almost impossible to throw out your back because the blade doesn't hold much snow but that's not how you should use it (lifting) I use it for chopping and pulling it's the best for getting a car out and it fits in the trunk. I also used it once on a beach to get a guy out it worked well same method on sand as in snow! ... show more

    • This is a good choice (very high quality)
Style: Trench Spade
Review Image by Tracy S.
This is a solid, well-built tool. I analyzed almost 2 dozen different edging/trenching type of shovels like this. I’m so glad I decided on this one. Here’s one reason why, that I didn’t even know until I read the literature included: “The special V-shaped cutting tip makes digging easier and ensures you don’t slip if you hit a root.” I never even thought of that! I was torn between a standard pointed cutting tip and one like this V shaped and I’m so glad I went with this. If I could give 6 stars for the packaging, I would. The box is sturdy. The shovel head is well, well protected. It comes completely assembled. Thank you for packing this so well to make it to me with absolutely no issues. ... show more

As you can see from the pictures, I dug out a huge portion of my front yard. I want to build a retaining wall and this is hands-down. The best shovel I have ever used in my life. It goes through almost anything, and it makes shoveling a lot easier I would recommend it to anyone.

    • Solid Construction, Short Handle
Style: Trench Spade
I like Radius Garden tools, they are as solid as they look. My only issue with this model is the handle is shorter than I would like. I was torn on that prior to order, and after some use, a longer handle would be much better. I am ~ 5'9"
