"I have had to dig up hundreds this year and this shovel makes it so easy it almost feels like a fun game."
"I have a patch of invasive statice plants ( smothering barrel cactus) that are getting an eviction notice after the next rainfall."
"This product was bought after we moved to a new house that had extensive gardens around the entire house/ During the moving process, the gardens got very little attention and we finally had to bring in a professional to help get things under control."
"Who would have thought a shovel would be something to rave about it this one is!"
"But the Spear Head Spade cuts right through the roots, and the long handle gives me a very powerful lever to work on stones of all sizes."
"I do metal detecting and gardening, so this shovel was more than star on my Christmas List."
"The spear point works amazingly well to get under and around roots and rocks and dig through rocky dirt - it would have been so hard with a regular shovel."
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. Sharpened blade makes it easy to penetrate tough soil or break up hardened dirt clods.

"I know it's only a shovel but after suffering for years with hand me downs and short handled diggers I came to love this guy the first time I used it."
"I do think that the yellow rubber tip is too loose but I just figured I will put some duct tape on it now that the pretty new shine is gone. They told me to simply take a photo of the broken tool along with a copy of the receipt and they would send me a new shovel."
"I would love to give some satrical review saying how this shovel changed my life..(see http://www.amazon.com/Dover-Parkersburg-610-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B00002N85A). But in all seriousness, I have NEVER seen a shovel as awesome as this. I broke 3 shovels from the hardware store that were all the high grade shovels. You will NEVER see another shovel review from me, because I will never again buy one, unless I get another one of this Excalibur of shovels."
"A big clump of Lady Palms, which are a huge pain to work with due to the heavy root rhizomes, a monster schefflera that was just in the wrong place, some more trench work to replace some damaged irrigation PVC, a mysterious chunk of concrete in our yard that I discovered while digging up irrigation pipe, and miscellaneous gardening. The wide tread edge is super comfortable (no, I don't always use the correct footwear), and, while I have tried, and disliked other offset-handle shovels, Fiskars seems to have gotten their slight offset just about right - for my back, at least. I have a slight nerve sensation impairment in my hands, and also live in one of America's top ten sweaty cities (hey, it was an official poll)."
"Absolutely love this shovel."
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. The Root Slayer is 44.5 inches from the tip of the blade to the top of the grip. Root Slayer transplanting and multi-purpose shovel digs through sod and roots like they're not there, with its sharpened "Inverted V" cutting blade tip and specially designed root-cutting rip saw teeth, eliminating the need for saws, hatchets, pry-bars, and more.

With some of the bigger roots, like 3" or so, you can't really dig right through the root, but you can rip through it with a few kicks by aligning the saw blade at an angle against the root."
"This shovel makes collecting bonsai yamadori soo easy!"
"This thing is amazing!"
"I have tons of trees in my yard and their roots get in a way of planting flowers."
"This thing will cut through the toughest roots (and possibly a sprinkler line or two if you're not careful)."
"Cuts right through rootbound ground I could not budge with any other shovel, not even a sharpshooter."
"This works amazing well."
"Love the shovel, it is exactly what I was looking for."
