Plexon Root Cutting Shovel - 3-Sided Sharp Steel Digging Spade, Fiberglass Handle, D-Grip, 44.7"

The Plexon root cutting shovel is a sharp steel digging spade for ground that stops an ordinary shovel: tangled tree roots, compacted clay and rocky soil. Its forged blade is sharpened on three sides, so it slices through roots instead of bouncing off them, and a fiberglass handle with a D-grip gives you the leverage to finish the cut.

Root Cutting Shovel for Tree Roots, Stumps and Sod

This root shovel is made for cutting, not just moving dirt. The sharpened tip and side edges slice through tree roots, so you can cut around stumps, lift sod and pull weeds out by the root. It also cuts through the dense rhizomes and rootballs of bamboo, banana, agave, yucca and ornamental grasses when you need to remove or divide them. Homeowners, gardeners and landscapers use it for root pruning and yard cleanup that a standard garden shovel cannot handle.

Forged Steel Digging Spade for Clay and Rocky Soil

The blade is forged from heat-treated steel that holds its edge and resists bending when you pry in hard ground. Raised, non-slip foot treads at the top of the blade let you drive it down with your boot, even in wet clay. The fiberglass handle keeps the whole tool at 4.96 lb, and the rounded D-grip gives a secure two-hand hold on every cut. The 44.7-inch overall length provides solid leverage for digging and prying.

Planting, Transplanting and Trenching with a Narrow Spade

The narrow, pointed blade doubles as a garden spade and planting shovel. Use it to dig clean planting holes, transplant shrubs and perennials, and edge flower beds with a crisp line. In compacted soil it digs narrow trenches much like a sharpshooter spade, cutting through roots that block the way. Clean soil off the blade after each use and store the shovel dry to protect the steel.
