Garden Root Slayer Root Spade Red Round Head Shovel

After reading reviews I was a little concerned about the weight.The item does have some weight to it, but is sturdy. As its for digging & chopping out roots it does need to be good quality with some weight to it.Only used twice so far & it's great. Cuts through general roots really well. You obviously have to put some effort in to cutting thicker roots. Works really well.Value for money, will get more items from this range.

Heavy spade but just right for penetrating heavy clay soil and destroying medium sized roots

sharp, strong, and light spade it make light work of digging the allotment this is our second rootslayer we have the narrow one as well three years of hard use and it is still awesome.

did the job very well

As I’m fairly short it wasn’t quite as comfortable to use. Unfortunately did not work on digging up bamboo root system but otherwise very useful tool

Spade good

This has been a life saver in my multi-weekend quest to remove the roots of 10m of hedge roots and a couple of trees. The design is spot on - the circular handle really helps with your grip when levering up the roots with both hands, the pointed tip and serrated edges carve through all but the thickest roots, and the top of the shovel head is bent over 90 degrees either side of the shaft to form small platforms for your feet to apply your bodyweight. A genuinely great tool that I strongly recommend.

This spade was recommended by my 80 year old mother! We have just moved house and the garden hasn’t been tackled for some years. This spade makes light work of digging through the roots, it’s not light to handle but it is so sturdy and I love the circular handle allowing you to pick it up with two hands and drive it into the Earth. Not cheap but Highly recommended.
