Radius Garden 16211 Root Slayer Soil Knife, Red

I have several root slayer tools. My favorite is the Trowel. It seems like I use it all the time when gardening, especially weeding. My wife likes to use it, too, so we’re always asking the other to hand over the Trowel. I ordered the Soil Knife for just that. Now we each have a tool we can use. Plus, the Soil Knife is like having half a Trowel and its smaller size offers different applications, especially in tight areas. It fits well in the hand. And, like all Root Slayer tools, it is extremely well made from heavy steel that’s not going to bend or break when you use it to lever or pry. Be careful! The split end is sharp.

Excellent. Wont use anything else. Best trowel I’ve ever used

Much more durable and sturdy than other soil knives I've used. With some of the standard store brands, it feels like you can break off the handle if you put too much pressure on it. This one has taken all the abuse I can give it. It's worth the extra money to get the right tool that will last a while.

Very sturdy while light weight. Easily cuts into the dirt and uproots weed root systems. The narrow blade is much more precise than a regular garden shovel. It quickly became my GoTo weeding tool.

I purchased the root slayer shovel and it was 100% great so I bought the garden hand tool. This is just as functional. It pries, cuts, scoops, and uproots like a dream. Worth the money. I don’t baby my tools and this is holding up just fine.

So this is a multi-purpose garden tool that's at least OK for digging, cutting, chopping, and sawing. Works well on many kinds of weeds that have to be removed by hand. Seems extremely durable.The edges were a long way from sharp when it arrived, which is often the way, and they took some work to file down. This is not a flimsy item. It's not a great trowel or a great knife, but it's both, and if you need to destroy weeds below the surface of the soil or hack down vines that don't rate a hatchet or loppers, here you go.

I love all three of my root slayer tools. I have the shovel, edger and hori hori knife. Well made and constantly use them. The Grip and cutting features on the shovel are game changers.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Absolutely murders its role, I even use it for a few things above ground since it works so well as a small saw for vines once you find the bulbs.My mom had it for over two years and I had used hers a few times, so I got my own and I could not love it more, the larger shovelis amazing as well.
