Best Hand Garden Shovel With Serated Edge

Roots always seem to get in the way of digging, whether you expect them or not. 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, 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. The Root Slayer is 44.5 inches from the tip of the blade to the top of the grip. The blade is 2.5mm thick (just thicker than 13 gauge) and just under 13 inches long, with 3.5 inch steps. It weighs 5.4 pounds.

From the Manufacturer

Fiskars D-handle garden spade, with its flat, narrower blade, is precisely the tool you need to lay down a clean border, cut an arrow-straight trench, or edge a flowerbed in record time. The oversized D-handle provides ample space for both hands and a variety of hand positions, while the oversized step serves as a solid platform for you exert lots of powerful foot pressure. And unlike round shafts, this teardrop shaft conforms to the shape of the hand, making it much easier to maintain a strong, comfortable grip. And if all that isn¿t enough, Fiskars throws in a lifetime warranty of flawless performance.

North American gardeners and landscapers love round point shovels. This one has a larger blade than most, as well as a slightly cupped shape. Old-timers might recognize this as close to what was once called a “sand shovel.” Nowadays that term is pretty much reserved for children’s toys, but we can assure you that this is no toy. The shape of the blade is indeed quite useful when working in sand and sandy soils. The real beauty of this shovel is that it works well in all conditions, can be used all day long by professionals, and won’t break like most cheap transfer shovels today. Radius Pro-Lite tools are 4″ to 5″ longer than their PRO counterparts and feature the same large “O” handle and extra-wide raised forward kick for reduced strain, better balance, and ease-of-use.

The Fiskars long-handle steel digging shovel makes it easy to dig into tough soil without sore knees from kneeling or back strain from bending. The welded steel construction is far more durable than wood and won’t flex like fiberglass. A sharpened blade cuts into dense soil easily, an extra-large foot platform helps maximize force to break up hardened soil clods, and a teardrop-shaped shaft profile provides exceptional comfort and control.

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-shaped 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 tool. The XL (Extended Length) version of the Root Slayer Drain Spade provides even more leverage with a long, reinforced fiberglass shaft.

All Spear Head Spade blades are designed from the ground up to handle your most difficult digging situations while reducing effort by up to 80%. The unique “Patent Pending” blade profile gives it the impressive ability to auto-seek the path of least resistance and then gradually ease, wedge, and cut through the most challenging of conditions. Spear Head Spade blades are made of high carbon manganese steel that is 33% thicker and 25% harder than normal shovels. They are sharpened from tip to tail at a 35 degree angle to give them an effective and durable edge. They are powder coated with an epoxy resin for durability and ease of cleaning. Generous forward bent foot rests make digging more comfortable, prevent entanglement with roots, and enable the blade to hold more soil. All shovels are made with reinforced fiberglass handles. You will find that they are among the lightest and strongest shovels on the market. They are also highly weather resistant, low maintenance, and non-conductive. Please note – although the fiberglass handle is non-conductive, always contact Call Before You Dig before digging and be extra careful when working around electricity. The SHFD3 has a light weight cushioned polymeric grip, designed to make it easier and more comfortable when doing tough digging. The grip also has UV inhibitors that allow it to withstand the harshest outdoor conditions.

The round point shovel is the most popular type of shovel in North America. The Root Slayer Round Head Shovel is a heavy duty, root cutting version of that shovel with an inverted V cutting tip instead of a round point. As with all Root Slayer products, you should consider buying this shovel when you have dense clay soil, rocks and shale in your soil, roots and other dense organic material. This shovel, with its very ample surface area, will move a lot of dirt without getting hung up on minor obstructions. You’ll be amazed at how quickly and easily you can move and divide perennials and shrubs with this monster shovel. As with all Root Slayer XL’s, this shovel has an extra-long fiberglass shaft with a reinforced solid fiber core.
