Root Slayer 16011 Garden Trowel with Serrated Blade for Digging and Root Cutting, Heavy Duty Steel Hand Tool, Red

This trowel is for some heavy duty use—very well made, I can easily hammer down stakes with this thing! Also has sharp sides designed for cutting that actually works very well! Slices through the dirt like butter. Definitely recommend!

5 STAR PURCHASE, bought both the narrow and wide body had shovel. I am a landscaper and LOVE this tool for planting flowers, bulbs, transplanting, splitting larger perennials for transplant. HIGH QUALITY construction, ergonomic for the hand, comfortable to use all day. However DO NOT leave your tools out in the sun, of course it will fade handles over time. I keep my in an enclosed box when not in use. HIGH QUALITY, have purchased 5 of them for family members and friends as Birthday gifts

I love my Radius Rootslayers, have loved them since I first got my hands on one. Since then I have bought them for friends, I hadn't tried the spade til now, and it is every bit as fantastic as the bigger Rootslayer. Absolute GAME CHANGER. And everyone who tries it loves it. Amazing product line. Buy one, you won't regret it. And you won't break it.

The best product for your garden. This brand makes the toughest items that handle anything your garden throws at you!! I use this item the most for my raised beds.

This will cut through anything. Very sturdy. Great addition to my gardening tools.

This trowel does a great job when working with soil that is loaded with roots. Previously I had to hack away or maybe use my rip-saw to cut through thick roots. This trowel has a partial saw edge on each side of the trowel. This edge blasts through skinny roots as though they are not there. Thicker roots can get sawn through with the edge - I simply shove the trowel in, making sure that the saw edge gets forced across the root. The saw edge works in one direction and has little trouble with roots up to one inch thick as long as you maintain contact between the saw edge and the root and are reasonably forceful. I think this could cut thicker roots, but at some point it makes sense to use something like a rip saw on really thick roots.

It's hard to put 3 years of work into one review. Turning an entire yard from a blank slate into a sanctuary. I didn't post a photo of the trowel. It looks mostly the same. The photos I posted are just *some* of the gardens I started using it, along with a couple long handled shovels. This is the only trowel that I use. Nothing else compares, not even a little. I spend most of my life outside working in the gardens in the spring, summer, and fall. The trowel is extremely durable, and it cuts beautifully, even through the toughest roots and dirt. I can also till dirt to put new plants in. I adore this tool for pulling weeds. I can get right in there and slice through the tap root using the sharp end blade. I have gotten hundreds of hours of hard work out of it already. I have filled my home with beautiful flower gardens, and vegetable gardens. I've used it from digging fence post holes to a 12 x 12 x 2 hole for pavers, fighting silver maple tree roots the whole way. If you garden at all, this is a MUST HAVE.

Must have tool for all gardeners!
