What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this root-cutting shovel for exceptional performance in tough gardening tasks. Most highlight its ability to effortlessly slice through stubborn roots, compacted soil, and dense earth that regular shovels cannot penetrate. The durable, heavy-duty construction and D-shaped fiberglass handle earn consistent acclaim for reducing physical strain, making demanding yard work manageable even for older adults or those with back issues. Reviewers describe it as reliable, long-lasting, and worth the investment. A few note limitations with extremely thick roots or shorter handle length, but these isolated concerns barely register against the overwhelming satisfaction and strong recommendation across reviews.

Much better value than similar products!
Would RecommendI 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 RecommendI 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 RecommendThe 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.

Chops right through
I love this shovel. Any time I see I’m getting close to roots I break this out and keep right on going.

Amazing
Would RecommendI bought this a few weeks ago. So far I have been able to dig out a rosebush & the roots of some weed trees that my regular garden spade couldn’t touch. I’m pretty old & rickety & usually have to wait for a younger relative but this let me dig without the strain.

This is a great tool for removing weeds from a garden. Simply chop 4 sides and pop out.
