As spring comes into full swing, many people are emerging from their homes to get their yards ready for the summer. A common job is the removal of troublesome roots that either have the potential to or are causing problems on other parts of the yard.

The sharp shovel tip can either be used to dig around the root to expose it to a saw or to hack at it to remove it.
