I've used almost every small floral, spade, trowel and relic/treasure hunting specific shovel over the last 30+ years. I've even made a few digging tools myself. This Root Slayer is a very well thought out, high quality, & well built shovel. I see many years of service ahead for small hard jobs around the house, not to mention relic/treasure hunting. It's hard to believe but, I think they have reinvented the shovel. I probably buy a back up like this perennial plus, a larger one for big jobs and give away my collection of shovels accumulated over the years. This shovel will cut & dig!!!

Makes digging out a bush much easier than using a regular spade shovel. I dug out a Dogwood tree that was about five years old. It was hard work but it took much less time than using a regular shovel. The V-notch on the shovel cut through small and medium size roots. The saw teeth on side sides also cuts through the root system. I would buy the shovel again.

I broke my first one by using on Huge roots which it did cut thru! But, I will use this one as directed so it will last!
