  • After observing an irrigation crew working on a problem sprinkler head on a golf course, it seemed like a no-brainer to extend the Root Slayer technology to a Drain Spade. The Root Slayer Drain Spade is extra long and narrow and ready to rip right through dense mats of roots. The inverted V cutting tip and arrays of ripsaw cutting teeth on both edges make quick work of obstructions. Whether digging a trench, uprooting a shrub, or cleaning out an existing drainage ditch, you'll really appreciate the strength and sharpness of this ergonomic tool. The XL (Extended Length) version of the Root Slayer Drain Spade provides even more leverage with a long, reinforced fiberglass shaft. Lifetime guarantee.

  • Blade Length = 16.5", Blade Width 8.5" at top of step, Total Length = 57.75", Weight: 5 lbs. 13 oz., Material: Tempered Mid-Carbon Steel blade, pultruded fiberglass shaft reinforced with super hard fiberglass rod core
  • US Patents 7,836,557, 8,006,351, D569,697.  Other Patents Pending.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Brian ★★★★★

That narrow blade sliced through my rocky soil without a hitch—a huge time-saver for trenching around the sprinkler system, and the steel feels tough enough to last years.

Henry ★★★★★

The notched edge dug into the hard clay around my old sprinkler head without me having to jump on the blade, and the XL width cleared out the hole in way fewer scoops than my old shovel. I was honestly skeptical about the design, but it's now the first tool I grab for any trench work.

Christopher ★★★★★

That notched blade design cut through a tangle of roots under my garden fence without me even having to break a sweat, which would’ve been a nightmare with my old shovel. The build feels solid and well-balanced, too.
