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.

Very Effective!!
Would RecommendI 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 RecommendWe 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.

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.
