Rootslayer with a D-shaped handle.

This rootslayer has a D-shaped handle which is much easier for me to use. The sale price was just a little more than cost of a rootslayer trowel.

Best Outdoor Tool Ever!

Only took 7 minutes to remove the root!! Wow, now I’m charged to remove more lifeless schrubs from my flower bed. This a game changer and will keep the a lot more money in my pocket than initially thought. Don’t hesitate purchase the shovel and go to work.

Perfect for digging thru roots or compacted soil

I needed to move several small trees on my property and learned that root cutting shovels can make a job like that much easier, so I purchased this Kobalt model.

Comfortable and effective

I really liked how sturdy, comfortable and effective this shovel was. I have a ton of really big invasive plants in my yard and this tool made light work of extracting them.
