Root Slayer Trowel
Tears Through Tough Roots and Soil
The Root Slayer Trowel is built to tackle the toughest garden tasks, from breaking through compacted soil to slicing through stubborn roots. Designed for home gardeners and small farmers, this heavy-duty hand tool offers exceptional strength and control, making it perfect for planting, transplanting, and maintaining healthy garden beds. Its compact size and ergonomic grip allow for precision work in both small containers and open garden plots.
The tempered, powder-coated enamel carbon steel blade features sharp, serrated edges on both sides, allowing it to cut through roots with ease while digging deep into the soil. An integrated twine cutter—cleverly doubling as a bottle opener—adds practical versatility in the garden or on the farm. The non-latex thermoplastic grip with a polypropylene core provides a comfortable, non-slip hold, even in wet or muddy conditions, reducing hand fatigue during long hours of work.

I have 3 of these now. I just love it. It is very sturdy and helps in getting through tuff weed roots. I live in Arizona with hard clay soil, so this is a must when it comes to tools.
I love this tool so much that I’ve given it as gifts a few times! It’s amazing how much easier it is to plant something new when there are existing roots. I have a bad back and am so grateful to not be hacking my way through clay soil anymore.
This is the best hand tool I have ever used! It digs well and cuts through small and medium roots with ease. This trowel is comfortable to hold and makes the job of gardening very easy. I would buy this again.
Nice, heavy duty hand tool. It works well on ivy roots.
Cuts through almost anything. Easier than a much larger shovel when moving through roots and other media.
