Review: Best gardening tool I’ve ever bought - The Root Assassin is the best garden tool I have ever bought. I have a large garden with lots of trees and bushes and this tool cuts through roots no problem. I use the root assassin for digging bushes out but it is handy enough to make a light job of digging to plant bulbs and plants. I use this every day I am out in the garden and it makes a light job of weeding. This is an ideal size for a woman, I am 5 ft 4 and nice and light although it does such an excellent job son and partner use it. I am going to buy two larger ones for each of them so they stop stealing mine. If in doubt buy it you honestly won’t be disappointed.
Review: This really works!, - This works! So many gadgets and gizmos look promising on paper but disappoint when you try them but this device works well. It is an underground saw and should be treated as such rather than as a heavy levering device. It feels as though it has actually been field tested by the designer. I am currently adding plants to a woodland garden and the root assassin cuts neat plant pot sized holes that can be used to insert new shrubs etc. With the benefit of hindsight I would have bought the longer handled version as I have to bend with this one and my back is protesting a bit...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Waht is the length of the blade?**
A: The overall length of the shovel is 48 inches.   The blade is 16 1/2 inches long and 6 1/2 inches wide   It tapers down to 2 1/2 inches.   The end is rounded, although it didn't seem to effect my digging in any way.  The instructions clearly state the shovel is not to be used for prying.

**Q: How many inches deep does it cut for a plug?**
A: Do you mean for a plug of grass? I do not have grass, but I find it very helpful for transplanting flowers and trees from pots into the soil. It goes at least 6-8" deep. You don't apply leverage, but you can switch to a regular shovel or get on the ground and use a spade.

**Q: does this shovel work for cutting plugs as well as cutting through roots?**
A: Yes, the surface area of the shovel is 16.25".  I have used this on my yard and it is very handy.

**Q: Will this work to dig out a flower bed in a sandy plot?**
A: You can't go wrong for this multifunction tool.  It's made well. I would recommend once the flower bed was broken up to use a conventional shovel for capacity shoveling.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful
*by R***N on 17 August 2021*

This has its uses but be careful to not overextend it. It should only be used vertically down, though grass and/or soil and thin roots, the ones that tangle an ordinary spade. Do not lever soil etc. out of the ground using this implement, I would imagine it could bend and break quite easily. Used sensibly it does a good job. A goto tool for many garden uses.
