The Root Slayer XL combines a wide, serrated carbon-steel blade and an extended fiberglass shaft so you can slice through compacted soil, shallow roots and dense turf without stooping. Powder coating on the blade and a comfortable non-latex grip on the handle add durability and control for repeated landscaping work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Root Slayer XL make edging easier for taller gardeners?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 52.5-inch overall length lowers the need to bend while working, letting taller users maintain a more natural posture.
