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: Nice light, sturdy shovel that easily slices through dirt and small roots - I would say that this shovel is great to cut through small roots that would normally stop a regular garden shovel. It's lightweight, very sturdy, and the blade is thick enough to pry, although I wouldn't recommend too much prying because the handle is a lightweight plastic and I expect it'll snap if you put too much weight on it. I took a before and after picture of the stump that's been taunting me for the past few years. It's a beech tree stump so it's hard and it had a pretty pronounced taproot. This shovel alone wouldn't get it. I did have to use an axe and a pick mattock, but this shovel worked great to slide under and cut out the small roots to expose the taproot. It does slice through dirt like butter and if it hits small roots it doesn't hesitate to slice through them. I imagine if you just want to cut out shrubs or want an extra garden tool this would be great for you. I'm happy I purchased it and have no regrets. I have quite a few small hickory stumps I'll be attempting to get out by hand so hopefully this shovel will make that a little easier. Review: Zooms through dirt, taking out everything in its path - I bought one of these as a gift, and borrowed it from the giftee, liked it so much I bought one for myself. It is very comfortable to use - the circle on the handle provides lots of variety in where to grip it comfortably. I gave it a good workout, and was amazed how it cut through everything it touched. It's small, so I am not using this to move huge piles of dirt - it's not designed for that. But to transplant a bush that was in the ground for several years went very easily. I dug all around the perimeter, and when the circle was complete, gently pried up on the root ball. There was no resistance from anything growing because it had all been sliced. Having read the negative reviews for this shovel, I avoided using it as a lever - I only dug with it, and I think that if you're careful, it will last. Also, the comments about the label are true - I didn't try to remove it, and after some fairly heavy use, after washing, it's totally intact. Good product. Glad I gave it and glad I own it. Would buy again. ## Features - Compact Perennial Shovel for Precise Digging: Designed for transplanting flowers, dividing perennials, and working in tight garden spaces.
