Great shovel

Would Recommend

This shovel is amazing. I was able to dig up a huge overgrown ornamental grass that I my regular shovel wasn’t able to. I also got some huge roots out from an overgrown area we had cleared out. I was hesitant to pay $50 for a shovel but it has been worth every penny.

I used this to manually uproot and remove 16 dead boxwood shrubs from my front yard and it did the job very well, I was impressed by the sturdiness and durability and the way it cut through most of the roots.

Not a root cutter for us

Would Not Recommend

We purchased this for cutting root. It was to effective or helpful. An axe and loppers were more effective tools. Perhaps there is a video that we should have watched to understand how to use this tool more effectively.
