Root Slayer 16011 Heavy Duty Garden Trowel, Red

The Root Slayer trowel works exactly as you’d expect for such a tough looking tool. It digs aggressively in hard soil, and will hack through small roots nicely. Overall a well made and versatile tool. Note that while it is a tough tool it has its limitations. The blade snapped when I tried to pry out a particularly thick thistle. Totally my fault, but Radius replaced it under warranty anyway when I sent them a email with photos. Lesson learned: don’t use a trowel when the job calls for a shovel!

This is a very versatile trowel for the garden. It will make your yard work easier as it comfortably slices through turf and roots of larger annuals and perennials. It features a comfortable handle and a well-made sturdy blade that will likely outlast the owner.

I love this item. I am a 77 yr old female living on 15 acres of tree farming. This tool works for everything: digging, sawing into sod, sawing thru roots, weeding and so many things. The only other tool I need are clippers. I wish I had it years ago. For sure the best find in years.

I bought the large version and love it so much I saved up for the trowel. It is easier to use in smaller areas where I don't need my back or legs to help dig. High quality and comfortable handle to use.

This trowel is great! I’m not able to use a shovel due to a knee replacement, so I dug all my holes with this trowel. It cut through the dirt, dislodged the rocks and dug up the clay. Every gardener should have one of these trowels.

This trowel does a great job when working with soil that is loaded with roots. Previously I had to hack away or maybe use my rip-saw to cut through thick roots. This trowel has a partial saw edge on each side of the trowel. This edge blasts through skinny roots as though they are not there. Thicker roots can get sawn through with the edge - I simply shove the trowel in, making sure that the saw edge gets forced across the root. The saw edge works in one direction and has little trouble with roots up to one inch thick as long as you maintain contact between the saw edge and the root and are reasonably forceful. I think this could cut thicker roots, but at some point it makes sense to use something like a rip saw on really thick roots.

The best product for your garden. This brand makes the toughest items that handle anything your garden throws at you!! I use this item the most for my raised beds.

This trowel is truly a Root Slayer. It is the first successful tool for weeding Myrtle beds. I love it!

This is a fantastic little tool. We have a large garden with borders that need regular maintenance. This has made that chore so much easier. Makes easy work of troublesome roots and is robust and easy to use. It’s been a great addition to my armoury and I may win the battle of the borders one day now.

Tutto perfetto

The shovel is one of the best tools I own, so this is a great addition.

Très fonctionnel et de bonne qualité

Grandiose Handschaufel, schon oft benutzt, sehr hilfreich. Viel besser als eine normale Schaufel, man kann damit auch mal etwas durchtrennen oder leicht sägen, z.B. eine kleine Wurzel.
