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.
