This handy shovel eliminates the need for hatchets, pry-bars, and saws

We know, you already have a few shovels on the farm.  Even though shovels are a common tool, a shovel is a crucial tool, whether you are planting, removing weeds, creating irrigation channels, rock picking, or digging holes, the shovel is always needed one way or another.  

The versatility in the Root Slayer shovel by Radius is key to its success.   As every farmer knows, tree roots often get in the way of digging. “If you’ve ever hit roots while trying to plant a perennial or you have 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.” says Stealth Digger on their video review. 

Eliminating the need for hatchets, pry-bars, and saws while digging up around the farm, the Root Slayer, a multi-purpose shovel allows farmers to get the job done efficiently in one simple tool. 

We’ve all been there, digging on the farm and all of the sudden the shovel gets caught on roots while trying to dig up a shrub, and the shovel just can’t break a part those roots. With the Root Slayer, breaking up roots is no problem with a 13” tempered mid-carbon steel blade. 

The Root Slayer has won awards along with being certified and tested by Intertek, resulting in being 150%+ stronger than its competitors. 

Think of it this way, adding a multi-purpose shovel to the pile like the Root Slayer is essentially doing the gator a favor, by removing some tools in replacement for one multi-purpose shovel.
