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"}}]
After observing an irrigation crew working on a problem sprinkler head on a golf course, it seemed like a no-brainer to extend the Root Slayer technology to a Drain Spade. The Root Slayer Drain Spade is extra long and narrow and ready to rip right through dense mats of roots. The inverted V cutting tip and arrays of ripsaw cutting teeth on both edges make quick work of obstructions. Whether digging a trench, uprooting a shrub, or cleaning out an existing drainage ditch, you'll really appreciate the strength and sharpness of this ergonomic tool. Lifetime guarantee.
