Once you switch to the Root Slayer you might not even notice them most of the time. The Root Slayer is really a multi-purpose shovel that can eliminate the need for other tools, such as hatchets, pry-bars, and saws, when simply digging around the home. If you’ve ever hit roots while trying to plant a perennial, or been stymied by roots when trying to dig up a shrub, or tried to divide hostas with a spade only to have them slide away from your shovel, you’ll know what we’re talking about. You can use the Root Slayer as your go-to shovel. You can also use it to replace your nursery spade. Think of it as a shovel, root hatchet, and root saw all in one tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/6568\/files\/GREEN_Thumb_Award-2017_copy_1_large.jpg?v=1478023434\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2016-11-01T14:03:26-04:00","alt":"","width":2048,"height":1536,"src":"\/\/radiusgarden.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/IMG_0912_4.jpg?v=1478023406"}},{"id":163724689497,"handle":"featured","updated_at":"2024-11-30T19:50:04-05:00","published_at":"2020-10-01T16:43:28-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"global","title":"Featured","body_html":"","image":{"created_at":"2020-10-22T14:08:59-04:00","alt":null,"width":1080,"height":1080,"src":"\/\/radiusgarden.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Radius15011_MainImage5.jpg?v=1603390187"}}]
We had never even heard of a CapRock Shovel when we released the original Root Slayer Shovel, but one of our customers thought the inverted V cutting tip and ripsaw teeth along the edges of our Root Slayer would be just as useful on a CapRock Shovel. So, we purchased the top three competitive products we could find, tested them all for functionality and strength, then built the Root Slayer CapRock Shovel XL for extra performance and strength while cutting out nearly half of the weight of the other products. The most extreme application for the CapRock Shovel is just what it sounds like: shoveling rocks. We couldn't be more pleased with the way the twin points at the sides of the inverted V find the easiest path through the toughest obstructions. This is a heavy duty shovel you can use for life. Lifetime guarantee.
