Review: Very Pleased!! - Radius Garden Root Slayer Shovel - 2017 Green Thumb Award for Most Innovative Garden Tool I have been gardening for over 40 years and I have used most garden tools at one time or another. Occasionally a new innovative garden tool becomes available to gardeners, which is the case with the Radius Garden Root Slayer Shovel. It won the 2017 Green Thumb Award for Most Innovative Garden Tool, and rightfully so. This tool is well designed, very well made and does an excellent job of doing what it was designed to do, "slay roots." Well Designed: The Root Slayer was designed to be several tools in one. It's shape is part Drain Spade, part Digging Shovel, part Spade, and part Saw. The real beauty of the Root Slayer is the saw-toothed edges along the sides of the blade. The saw-toothed edges do indeed slay the roots of weeds, shrubs, trees, etc. These saw teeth are very sharp and saw right through any roots that are present when you are digging. This turns a difficult chore into a much easier task. The handle is circular in shape, which allows one's hands to grasp it from various angles. This will help prevent one's hands and wrists from becoming stressed from constantly being used at the same angle. The tip of the Root Slayer is very sharp, which is nice because every gardener knows that a sharp tipped digging tool works far better than a dull tipped garden tool. Well Constructed: The Root Slayer is very well made. The blade is heavy duty, rather than the flimsy construction of a lot of garden tools. The handle and shafts are also solid and heavy duty. As such, even a professional gardener can expect this tool to last for many years. The saw teeth along the edges are coarse-toothed, as opposed to fine-toothed. This coarse design prevents the teeth from getting clogged up by dirt, roots, etc. The ferrule (the place where the blade attaches to the shaft) is longer than most garden tools, definitely made for longevity. My Experience: When I received the Root Slayer, I put it to a rather thorough "field test". I quickly found out that it did a good job of doing what it was designed to do, "slay roots". I was impressed with how easily this tool sliced through most of the ever present roots of the nearby weeds, trees & shrubs. It sliced through the smaller roots with just one thrust of the tool. I used a sawing motion to slice through some of the larger roots, and the saw-toothed edges of the blade cut through these roots nicely. It also does a good job of digging, just like a spade or shovel. Recommendation: I am very pleased with this tool, and I highly recommend it for anyone who gardens; even a professional gardener will find the Root Slayer to be a nice and handy tool to have in their inventory of garden tools. As I mentioned earlier, "This tool is well designed, very well made and does an excellent job of doing what it was designed to do, 'slay roots'. " Happy Gardening to all!
Review: Great tool - Great shovel—sturdy, sharp, and easy to use. The serrated blade cuts through roots and tough soil much better than a standard spade, making digging and transplanting a lot easier. It feels durable without being too heavy, and the bright red color makes it easy to find in the yard. Solid tool that gets the job done.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does it compare to root assassin?**
A: I bought the root assassin first, and it bent almost immediately.  Root slayer has been working hard and still in great shape!!

**Q: Does anyone know if this shovel has what it takes to cut through bamboo roots. One of the hardest root system to cut through. Thanks in advance.**
A: Yes, I bought the Root Slayer(red) & Nomad to help dig out bamboo rhizome roots in my backyard.  Due to the tough nature of the bamboo roots, I found it's best to use the Bamboo Slayer with a block of 4x4 under the back of the blade for leverage then it becomes much easier to dig up roots.  However, the smaller shovel (Nomad) was bent.   I also sharpen the blade with rotary tool which helps digging and cutting a lot.

**Q: How good is this for prying? Got stubborn roots.**
A: Hello,

The Root Slayer is certified to be 150% stronger than comparable shovels and we encourage you to use it as a pry-bar. We have redesigned the Root Slayer XL to include a metal core to reinforce the shaft.

Hope this helps!

**Q: Can this be used to separate banana pups from the mother corm without damaging either the corm or the pups?**
A: Should do it. It's not a real thick blade but its strong so easy to get in hard to reach places.

It feels durable without being too heavy, and the bright red color makes it easy to find in the yard. Solid tool that gets the job done.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great heavy duty short handle shovel
*by D***N on April 10, 2026*

After digging up 25 gallons of smilax type root balls with this shovel, it does the job. Able to dig under where the root ball might be found (4-5”) with the length of the blade. Then pry the plant from the ground with hopefully the entire root ball This tool has the steel shaft which gives confidence on prying up the blade full of soil and plant. The handle length works for me at 6’. Like the extended foot rest on the blade to be able to dig in hard soil. Tool feels like a high quality product. Recommend this shovel for this type of digging. Update: 05/26 dug up over 250 gallons of rootball vines with this shovel. Better than the trenching shovel used before buying this one.
