This multi-purpose digging tool is great in small spaces, raised beds, and campgrounds. It is an absolutely awesome weeding tool. We've already used it to uproot Baby's Breath, Spotted Knapweed, Ash seedlings, Bladder Campions, Dandelions, and Curly Dock. It's amazing! Weve been told its a great metal-detecting shovel, too! The head is about 70 of the size of the Root Slayer Shovel, making it lighter weight without sacrificing the sharp edges and strength. Non-bending powder-coated carbon steel shaft with a patented durable ergonomic polypropylene grip. Toothed edge blade for cutting through roots and tough soil conditions
