Grandma Mooar’s Garden Tool Set
$ 119.99 $ 139.99
-
My grandmother, Marie Mooar, was a botanist, an expert vegetable and flower gardener, and perhaps the single most prolific contributor of specimens to the University of Montana’s herbarium. I remember two things about her gardens: First, all of the plants were huge and in perfect health. Second, the grooming was immaculate. She never lived to see Radius garden tools, but this gardening tool set is dedicated to her. It consists of a Pro-Lite Transplanter, a full-sized Pro-Lite digging fork (for her potatoes), a Pro-Lite Edger to keep all of the lines perfectly straight around the edges, and a set of four essential ergonomic hand tools. She was tall and thrifty, so I think the Pro-Lite line would have been her choice over the PRO line.See one of her collected specimens.
- See individual items for weights and measures. Material: Diecast aluminum and polypropylene for hand tools. Carbon steel, pultruded fiberglass, and polypropylene for Pro-Lite tools.

Root Slayer

The Award Winning Root Slayer is a multi-purpose shovel that can eliminate the need for other tools, such as hatchets, pry-bars, and saws, when simply digging around the home. Read the Story of the Root Slayer here. If you’ve ever hit roots while trying to plant a perennial, or been stymied by roots when trying to dig up a shrub, or tried to divide hostas with a spade only to have them slide away from your shovel, you’ll know what we’re talking about. You can use the Root Slayer as your go-to shovel. You can also use it to replace your nursery spade. Think of it as a shovel, root hatchet, and root saw all in one tool. Certified to be more than 150% stronger than comparable tools by Intertek, an independent testing laboratory. Patented ergonomic Natural Radius O-Handle Grip with 4 times the gripping surface of traditional D-Handle tools provides additional leverage while reducing hand and wrist stress. Made from a comfortable non-latex, thermoplastic elastomer over-molded onto polypropylene. Lifetime Guarantee.
- Blade Length = 13", Blade Width 10.5" at top of step, Total Length = 44.5", Weight: 5 lbs. 8 oz., Material: Tempered Mid-Carbon Steel blade, polypropylene encased carbon steel shaft, and thermoplastic elastomer grip.

Root Slayer Edger
$ 39.99
-
We started getting requests for a Root Slayer Edger very quickly after we released the Award Winning Root Slayer Shovel. If you’ve ever hit roots with a half-moon edger while trying to cut that perfect line in the sod or reclaim the crisp edge along your sidewalk or driveway, you’ll already know why you need a Root Slayer. Conventional edgers literally bounce or slide off of roots, while the Root Slayer Edger can slice right through them. Tested to the same exacting standards as the Root Slayer Shovel, we don’t think there has ever been a more serious edger on the market. Patented ergonomic Natural Radius O-Handle Grip with 4 times the gripping surface of traditional D-Handle tools provides additional leverage while reducing hand and wrist stress. Made from a comfortable non-latex, thermoplastic elastomer over-molded onto polypropylene. Lifetime Guarantee.
- Blade Length = 6", Blade Width 10" at top of step, Total Length = 39", Weight: 4 lbs. 8 oz., Material: Tempered Mid-Carbon Steel blade, polypropylene encased carbon steel shaft, and thermoplastic elastomer grip.

Root Slayer Nomad
$ 39.99
-
As soon as we released the Award Winning Root Slayer Shovel we got multiple requests for a more compact version. 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! We’ve been told it’s 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. Lifetime Guarantee.

Mini O Handle Shovel
$ 19.99
-
Many serious gardeners spend a lot of time on their hands and knees in the garden. Not long ago we discovered that one of our long-time customers had carefully re-sized the shaft of our Pro-Lite Floral Shovel to turn it into a Mini Floral Shovel. That brought the blade close to the grip and made it possible to use the shovel very close to the ground. She was also using it in a series of raised beds for which a normal length shovel would have been awkward. I loved seeing the modified shovel being used in so many different ways: As a giant trowel; as a small shovel; and even as a support to help stand up from the kneeling gardening position. I figured if it was worth all of the effort to modify a shovel for this purpose then it was worth producing them for you. When a trowel is too small and a shovel is too big, it's time for the Mini-O. It's great for kids, too!
- Blade Length = 8.25", Blade Width = 6" at top of step, Total Length = 28", Weight: 2 lbs. 11 oz., Material: Carbon Steel blade, fiberglass shaft, polypropylene and TPE grip.

Root Slayer Trowel
$ 9.99
- At Radius Garden we are pretty finicky about trowels. After all, the company was founded on a design for an ergonomic trowel, the Natural Radius Grip trowel. As I was bending over my raised bed one day last spring struggling to transplant some deeply rooted herbs I had the thought, "I really wish I had a trowel that was as easy to use as the Root Slayer Shovel." Within a week, the design was completed. We developed a new flared handle for extra comfort, adapted the Root Slayer Shovel as a trowel, added a twine cutter notch that doubles as a bottle opener and designed a durable nylon holster to carry it in. I can tell you from experience that the trowel works like a dream, not only for gardening, but also for opening craft IPA's. You'll never find a sturdier trowel to rip through roots and difficult soil. Strap the holster over your belt so you always have access to this handy tool. Lifetime guarantee.
- Blade Length = 6.75", Blade Width 3.5", Total Length = 12.75", Weight: 10 oz., Material: Tempered Powder coated enamel carbon steel blade, non-latex thermoplastic grip with polypropylene core. Holster made from a durable nylon.
Root Slayer Soil Knife
$ 9.99
- We might have called the Root Slayer Soil Knife the Root Slayer Hori Hori, but we were afraid people might not know about one of the oldest and most essential garden tool designs of all time. Based on original Japanese designs, but updated with modern materials and style, the Root Slayer Soil Knife can perform the functions of almost any hand tool in the garden. Use it as a substitute for a trowel, transplanter, cultivator, or most importantly, a weeder. This handy digger will cut through root-filled, heavy clay soil with surprising ease. When in the lawn, garden, or potting shed, we never like to be without this versatile garden tool. Strap the holster over your belt so you always have access to this handy tool. Delivered with an enamel powder coating, the Root Slayer Soil Knife features an array of a dozen saw-like cutting teeth on one side, a long sharp blade on the other side, the signature Root Slayer inverted V blade tip, and a combination twine cutter and bottle opener near the ergonomic grip. Feel free to sharpen any or all of the high-carbon steel cutting surfaces for a very long lasting edge. Lifetime guarantee.
- Blade Length = 7.75", Blade Width 2", Total Length = 13.5", Weight: 10 oz., Material: Tempered Powder coated enamel carbon steel blade, non-latex thermoplastic grip with polypropylene core. Holster made from a durable nylon.
Mini Garden Tool Set
$ 39.99 $ 59.99

A long-time customer approached us a few years ago asking why there weren't any good tools for children or seniors. We couldn't think of a good answer, but we did think of a good response: We designed super lightweight tools that would still last a lifetime. What we ended up with was great for kids, but equally great for raised bed gardening, and equally great for people with limited upper body strength, such as seniors. We love these tools and don't use much of anything else in our raised beds. The patented shape of the Mini-Digger blade takes a small bite of earth with an absolute minimum of effort. Everyone loves the Mini version of the GroundHog rake. We find that it's perfect for raised bed gardening and kids. Lighter weight and smaller than a full-sized hoe, the Mini-Hoe is every bit as durable and probably quite a lot more useful in a raised bed.

What is a Soil Knife?
A"soil knife" or a "weeding knife", is a heavy serrated multi-purpose steel blade for gardening jobs such as digging or cutting. The blade of a soil knife is sharp on both sides and comes to a semi-sharp point at the end. This is the best hori-hori knife on the market.

Root Slayer Perennial Shovel
$ 39.99
-
An astute customer of ours pointed out that the original Root Slayer Shovel can be overkill for many gardening tasks and even too heavy for some older gardeners. She said we should design a lightweight version specifically for working with perennials. So we started with a blade that is about 70% of the size of the Root Slayer Shovel, added a lightweight super durable fiberglass shaft, and topped it off with our patented O-handle grip. The Root Slayer Perennial Shovel is truly a miracle worker in the garden. We recently dug out, divided and transplanted a sizable bed of daylilies in about half the normal time with this incredible tool. The sharpened inverted V cutting tip prevents perennial roots from slipping from underneath the shovel blade while dividing. And, it's every bit as useful for raised beds, flower gardens, and general digging. Lifetime Guarantee.
- Blade Length = 9.25", Blade Width 7.5" at top of step, Total Length = 44", Weight: 3 lbs. 3 oz., Material: Tempered Mid-Carbon Steel blade, fiberglass shaft, polypropylene and TPE grip.
- US Patents Pending.
We are serious gardeners who love the outdoor life. Our mission is to make tools of such uniquely high quality, utility, and comfort that your next favorite garden tool is one of ours.
