## Description

A Root Slayer shovel is an all-around tool for all your gardening needs. However, if your task is just small and light, you need a small garden digging shovel that is ready for the task at hand. The Root Slayer perennial shovel is a small shovel that can do a lot of things in your garden. It is a handy multi-purpose tool for a small garden. This lightweight root saw shovel has all of the features of the original Root Slayer that you love, but it comes in a smaller and lighter package. You need a handy, reliable and versatile tool in your garden which means you need this Radius shovel.

Review: The perfect shovel!! - This shovel is an investment in my collection of the best garden tool. Radius is my new favorite brand. The design is perfect. I have given this shovel as gifts twice. Very sturdy & easy to use. Not too heavy, weight is just right. Love the teeth which cut right through the soil. Brilliant design in every way. Easy to grip and control the handle. Everyone need this shovel in your garden.
Review: Got soil with lots of roots? Get this! - High quality and well made! Short handle design works well for a 5'4", 69-yr.-old woman. Great for digging holes to cram in even more plants in tight spaces with lots of roots in the ground. Narrow head doesn't bring out a lot of dirt at once like a regular shovel. But it's weapon-like design cuts through problem dirt areas very quickly! I like the raised tread design on the 2 areas where you put your foot so they won't slip off in heavy wet clay soil. This looks and feels very solidly built and should be able to withstand a lot of use! Just used it to plant 6 climbing roses in uneven areas that were not easy to access.

## Features

- Compact Perennial Shovel for Precise Digging: Designed for transplanting flowers, dividing perennials, and working in tight garden spaces. The narrower blade allows gardeners to dig accurately around plants while minimizing disturbance to surrounding soil.
- Inverted V Cutting Tip with Ripsaw Teeth: The sharpened V-shaped blade tip combined with aggressive serrated edges helps cut through stubborn roots, sod, and compact soil, making planting and root removal easier.
- Ergonomic O-Handle Grip for Better Control: Features a patented natural O-handle design that provides more gripping surface than traditional D-handles, helping improve leverage, control, and comfort during extended digging tasks.
- Lightweight Blade with Strong Cutting Power: The perennial shovel blade is smaller than the original Root Slayer shovel, offering better maneuverability while maintaining the strength and sharpness needed for demanding gardening work.
- Durable Fiberglass Shaft and Carbon Steel Blade: Built with a reinforced fiberglass shaft and powder-coated carbon steel blade for reliable durability during digging, transplanting, landscaping, and everyday garden maintenance.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
