Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 57.5-in Fiberglass Handle Root cutting shovel

Best shovel EVER!!!

This is the best shovel for gardening that I have ever used. The sawtooth blades on the side cut through turf and dirt with ease. It's narrow enough that you can use it for digging small patches, like to plant nests of bulbs, or in-fill without disturbing nearby plants. Can't recommend it enough! A friend who is an avid gardener recommended it to me and she was absolutely right about how good this product is. In fact, I'm giving one to each of my gardening adult children for Christmas!

Cuts roots but it has big ears

Bought this for the obvious reason: digging in an area with roots. My neighbor has an old, tall pine, and my yard is lousy with thin roots. But. . . Holy crap! Slices through the turf like nobody's business. Roots up to about 3/4" (little larger than thumb diameter)? Not a problem. There's a little resistance, but not much. If there's more notable resistance? Put more weight on the flange; it'll push right through. It's great in that aspect. 10/10, would recommend. What stinks about it? This ...

I gave up using a reg shovel after breaking 2

After breaking 2 shovels trying to get through some roots(palm tree) I seen this shovel, I didn't think it would work but after trying it with this shovel, I got the root ball loose with ease.

Good investment

I love this shovel its easy for any transplant, I highly recommend this shovel if you do lots of transplanting.

Good product

Very good

Unusually shaped shovel. Never seen anything like

It's a very sturdy tool. Heavy enough to give it some beef for chopping roots and hard soil. I use it to break the bond between the pot and the soil inside the pot. Just slide the blade down along the inside of the pot to make it easier to remove your plant from the pot. With any potted plant over time there is a bond created between the side of the pot and the soil. Breaking that bond makes it easier to extract your plant.

great handle height for hubby who is 6'3.

Cuts throught the dirt much more easily than a regular shovel

Worth buying

Makes digging a ditch a lot easier

Works as advertised...

Absolutely LOVE this product!!! I was able to cut through the roots with ease, then literally push the augustrium over and begin sawing it into pieces...

Shovel review

This shovel is a game changer. As far as shovels go, this is a force multiplier. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is doing yardwork

Worth every penny.🙂

The Kobalt Root Slayer is an awesome tool. I used it on hard rocky ground to remove Desert Broom and it works very well up to a point. If the tap root is much bigger than about 2-3 inches in diameter I dig a few inches and cut it using a hand tool.

Wish I'd used it w/ my last tree removal

Easy to use. Cut through stubborn tree roots. Made removing a crepe myrtle so much easier.

Great shovel

A very sturdy shovel. Perfect for digging out stumps of shrubs and small trees

Quality!!! Matters!!!,Thank you!

I liked the sturdy & strength that the shovel provided & the Edges they provide to cut the roots,I would most certainly Recommend this shovel to Everyone! .
