    • Best shovel ever!
Size: 32-Inch Pattern Name: Shovels
This is my go-to shovel. It has sharp jagged edges to cut through the hard ground. I'm 74 and it is easy to handle and light weight. I'm also short but it isn't too big for me. I use it for everything from digging post holes to planting rose bushes. I'm in the mountains of Colorado and also have a lot of moles in my yard. It works great to dig into their tunnels. Also good for breaking up roots from oak trees. It's a work horse! ... show more

    • Works like a charm!
Size: 32-Inch Pattern Name: Shovels
This is the best gardening tool I own. It does what it says it does and more. I have trouble with bending over digging for a long time and this has been a life saver for my back. If you're on the fence about purchasing this, I have to tell you it's the best tool for gardening. Just buy it. I'm so happy with it. ... show more

    • The Root Assassin is a beast!!!
Size: 35-Inch Pattern Name: Shovels
This is the second review I’ve ever written but I had to tell everyone about this amazing shovel that I totally recommend. I bought the Weed Assassin shovel for gardening and a metal detecting. (But I’m mostly using it for gardening.) I wanted a shovel that had a shorter length and a nice push plate. I also wanted it to have teeth on both sides. This thing is a beast! It’s not too heavy - just right. It is sharp! Goes right into the ground and slices through everything. It cuts right through roots and hard heavy clay. It came with a nice blade cover too. It’s so well made! I have to see what other products this company makes. I’ve been able to turn over big rocks using the shovel as leverage. I was fully expecting it to bend- but this shovel is welded together solidly and it’s made so well. It’s my favorite ever. I’m in love with this shovel. We’re getting married. ... show more

    • Good Shovel - Works Well
Size: 58-Inch Pattern Name: Shovels
Some plant removal requires more than a regular shovel. This shovel works well on fibrous, tuberous rooted plants. For us, it helped in the removal of foxtail ferns. The only suggestion I can think of to improve the tool would be if the ledge you step/push on to push it into the plant's root system was a little bit larger (I have average size feet). It was a bit pricey, but we have enough use for it so for us it was worth it. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star instead of a 5 star is due to the foot ledge and the price. We like this shovel. ... show more

    • Excellent quality and tackles very big weeds

This is exactly what I needed to remove very stubborn, big, bushy weeds. I am a 5'1", 114 lb senior citizen female, and in excellent physical shape. This device works perfectly. Everything about it is perfect.

    • Update on my review - Sometimes a shovel is just not a shovel!

After digging up about 50 Xmas tree stumps with a normal pick and shovel and knowing that I had another 60 or so to go, I went looking for a better tool. And I found it! The "Root Assassin" (I know strange name) looked like what I needed, but I was a bit skeptical. So I bought it hoping it would make digging the stumps out easier AND hold up in the process. It has more than achieved both of these goals. The 48" model has a nice long blade that really gets down to the roots under the stump without having to dig a big hole. The teeth cut through all but the largest roots (those I cut with lopers). I was concerned that the blade would bend when prying the root ball up, but this wasn't the case. The blade is welded in two places and VERY strong. You're looking at the shovel after digging up those 60 or so stumps - like new, just a bit dirty. I also like how light it is, so you're not having to do heavier lifting just to move the shovel around. And, I also found it's great at digging out blackberry roots and thistles. Of course, it's important to work with dirt that is softened by rain, if the ground is rock hard, no tool even this one, will work very well. If you need to dig up roots & small stumps, this is the ticket! I felt I needed to update this review after using the shovel to dig up a few more bushes. I noticed that the handle seemed to be bending and sure enough it was. You can see from the pictures I’ve added how the paint is chipping were the shaft is bending. The other photo shows how the extent of the bend so far. Based on this I’m returning the shovel to Amazon with a small restocking fee. The manufacturer lists a lifetime warranty on the shovel however you need to pay for shipping of the replacement shovel, which I think will have the same problem. Based on this I’m changing my rating to a 1 star. I really liked this shovel up until it failed, sad it’s not made of stronger metal. ... show more
