What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this shovel for exceptional root-cutting performance, with most noting it slices through roots up to three inches in diameter with minimal effort. The heavy, sturdy construction and unique blade shape enable users to leverage it as both a cutting tool and pry bar, dramatically reducing physical strain. Many report completing hours-long landscaping tasks in minutes, with users across all physical abilities—including older adults and those with back issues—finding the work surprisingly manageable. A few mention the edge could be sharper initially, and rare instances of bending occur, but these are vastly outweighed by enthusiastic endorsements calling it an essential garden tool.

Very impressed!

Would Recommend

I was honestly very impressed with this! It was like a hot knife to butter going through the hard red clay in Oklahoma dirt and tore right through all tree roots with ease. I did not once have to use hardly any force at all. Very impressed!

Great shovel!

Would Recommend

Works really well for removing unwanted saplings and small trees. I was looking to buy an extractagator, but was put off by their price. Was really glad that I ran across this shovel which does the job for a fraction of the price and comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Durable Root-Cutting Shovel.

Would Recommend

It’s a durable product and is effective at cutting roots. Better at breaking up soil than actually moving it.

It's worth the investment.

I have been working on plantings some plants and bushes since we just moved here. I borrowed.a shovel from my daughter. I was thinking about buying a pic axe when I seen this spade. I checked our some of the reviews and purchased it. I was not disappointed with it. I would recommend it to anyone who would ask about it.

Amazing Product

Would Recommend

I am a small female that was able to dig these stumps up in about 30 minutes. Saved me a lot of money from having them removed by a professional. I did use a pair of loppers to cut through a couple of the thick roots on the side, but this shovel did most of the work. I highly recommend this tool

Sharp heavy duty shovel

Would Recommend

Very sturdy shovel with a sharp bottom blade and jagged cutting sides. Great for digging when you’re going to run into roots.

Narrow shovel with wide top

Would Recommend

My foot had kept slipping off of the shovel when I was trying to dig. I was wishing there was a shovel that had a narrow bottom and wider top that would keep my foot on it and I found it at Lowe’s.
