Great for tough weeds

Would Recommend

This will cut through fibrous roots and tough soil. It doesn't slice through thick roots like a hot knife in butter, but it will hack away at them until you can do more damage with a saw or clippers. What it is great for are those big taprooted weeds that are almost impossible to pull.

Much better value than similar products!

Would Recommend

I love this tool!! Not only is it light enough for me (5’5”, 120 lbs) to handle easily, it is also sturdy, with sharp toothed sides and tip, strong enough to cut through root wads, and shaped perfectly for scooping out soil and rocks from planting holes.

Worth every penny

Would Recommend

I waited 9 years to remove 6 large, 30 year old shrubs. It took an hour…literally this shovel saved me hundreds of dollars. I almost hired a guy to come in with a Bobcat…this shovel works as advertised. Cut through the roots effortlessly.

Not affective

Would Not Recommend

The shovel offers zero advantage over any good quality spade shovel…. I used it for 30 minutes and it sucked, root slayer not quite and for 40 bucks. Don’t waste your money like I did.
