Professional gardeners like to work with efficient tools that let them get the job done fast and with as little ''tool-fuss'' as possible. The alloy steel blade and handle are carefully heat treated to be exceptionally strong and and is fully welded. Handles are plated or painted for protection.
The Root Cutter shovel has a 5'' wide blade and is heavily serrated on one side. It will blow right through the tough stuff as its name implies. You will not find these tools locally as they are made for professional gardeners. Highly recommended.
