    • Awesome tool.
Size: 48-Inch Pattern Name: Shovels
I stumbled upon this. It is awesome for cutting roots. I removed some holly bushes and this did the trick. And you can dig holes for planting new shrubs and other plants. It is heavy duty and made of quality metal.

    • Game changer
Size: 48-Inch Pattern Name: Shovels
If I could give this 10 stars, I would! This shovel in FANTASTIC. I'm a 5'2" tall female, and this tool works wonders. I was able to remove pampas grass with no problem (a feat amazing in itself if you're familiar) and so many other bushes & trees with small root systems. I'm telling anyone who will listen about this tool...it will change your chore tremendously, I assure you ... show more

    • Use in combination with a digging bar
Size: 48-Inch Pattern Name: Shovels
I'm upgrading my rating:). I have a number of 30 year old cypress bushes that I removed yesterday. I started on root removal yesterday. The Root Assassin actually works well, BUT in combination with other tools that syou should have, including a pick and a digging bar (described later). The root assassin is sharp and has a 2 inch flat tip that works well for going under roots and helping to wedge them out. If you have a deep embedded root and can clear enough dirt then use a small chain saw or the digging bar with a point to pierce the root. ... I'm in the process of digging up my front yard and planting at least 50 bushes and trees. This sharp-pointed shovel really does not work for any root thicker than perhaps 1/16th of an inch, and really is not the solution for true root-impacted dirt. Instead, 2 weeks ago, I hired actual pro gardeners who dug holes in root-infested dirt to plant large trees. They used something I had never seen before and it worked so well I ordered it recently from Amazon, though I have not yet had an opportunity to try it myself...the Bon Tool RiverWorks 27-198 72-Inch Pencil Point San Angelo Digging Bar. I recommend the longer bar because it is heavier and creates more force. The guys would take this object, that looks like a spear and drive it into the dirt. Because it is so narrow, it easily breaks up the dirt and is used in conjunction with a pick ax. The bar widens the hole as well and the crowbar end easily breaks up and tears thick roots because of the leveraging effect since the bar is so long. This is a heavy steel shaft that drives down into the dirt with a sharp point on one end and a crow bar end on the other end (go to the product as listed here in amazon for an actual picture of the bar. Again, the root assassin is ok. ... show more

    • Bent the first time we used it
Size: 48-Inch Pattern Name: Shovels
It will go through small and medium size roots just fine, but bigger roots not so much. We're taking out - or trying, anyway - an old evergreen hedge that's been in the ground for probably 40 years. We cut the bush down to the stump and then started digging. We watched videos of how to use this shovel. Straight down first, then at an angle to try to get under the stump to loosen the roots. We had no problem going straight down, but when we came in at an angle, the shovel bent fairly significantly. Very disappointed, because it's supposed to be sturdier than that, I would have thought, for the price of it. So, that's $50 down the drain. Not sure if we can exchange it or not. But I'd say this is best for smaller shrubs and plants, not bigger shrubs with well-established root systems. We got better results using a regular shovel and a Sawzall. ... show more

    • Works great!!
Size: 48-Inch Pattern Name: Shovels
I have soooo many things to dig up since I'm redoing my plantings and I was having the hardest time with roots. This has helped tremendously. But it is heavy but very sturdy. I have 4 o'clocks that I'm trying to dig up after having them for about 20 years. So needless to say, the tubers these things grow underground can be HUGE! And a hand trowel of any sort does nothing but make my arm and hand hurt when trying to get these out of the ground. But the root assassin is pointed too & I'm only going after the tubers and not other items around them that I want to actually keep. I really do recommend this as an added tool for your gardening if you have some tough rooted items to get rid of. ... show more

    • Works great for a variety of things
Size: 32-Inch Pattern Name: Shovels
I'm 5'6" and the handle on this product hits me right at my waste which is perfect for getting power into the dirt and roots. *We have had a lot of rain, so soil is soft* But the teeth on each side along with the head was impressive When I first broke dirt with this I wasn't expecting the response. It TORE right through the dirt and demolished smaller roots around the root I was going after. The bigger root was over 1" thick and is an actual vine that are a bit harder to get a bite on. I was able to easily get it pulled out in a matter of minutes. I'm really impressed at the way this thing just tore through the dirt, rock and made it easy to lift the entirely of the root/vine in one go. I was then able to just lob off what was pulled up with some pruners. Highly recommend this line. They have SEVERAL different sizes and types to choose from, so make sure to check them out. ... show more
