Fiskars Transplanting Spade #9654Aug 08, 2008
totally loving this thing, it shaped like a trench shovel, only hollower, steel shaft make this a well balanced package, d-handle also helps on yanking soil loose, if you need one heavier shovel for landscapping use, get this one. It can serve many purposes.

What a shovel!
So far I've used it to transplant two pittosporums (each about 4' tall). It's like a surgeon's instrument. It has an extra-wide foot-stomping plate on the top of the blade that makes it easy to get lots of weight in just the right place. The sturdy plastic handle is comfortable in the hand and solidly attached to rest of the steel shovel.
I also used it to lever the pittosporums out of their hole. This worked great with very little flex in the shovel. The pittosporum with soil weighted about 60 pounds I'm guessing.
The blade is sharp enough to cut through small 1/4"-to-1/2" or so roots if you are determined. For big roots, a root-pruning saw is easier.
Full disclosure: The soil I was digging in was moist from a recent rain, and I didn't hit any large roots or other obstacles of note... pretty much perfect transplanting conditions
