How does it compare to root assassin?

I bought the root assassin first, and it bent almost immediately. Root slayer has been working hard and still in great shape!!

Does anyone know if this shovel has what it takes to cut through bamboo roots. One of the hardest root system to cut through. Thanks in advance.

Yes, I bought the Root Slayer(red) & Nomad to help dig out bamboo rhizome roots in my backyard. Due to the tough nature of the bamboo roots, I found it's best to use the Bamboo Slayer with a block of 4x4 under the back of the blade for leverage then it becomes much easier to dig up roots. However, the smaller shovel (Nomad) was bent. I also sharpen the blade with rotary tool which helps digging and cutting a lot.

How good is this for prying? Got stubborn roots.

Hello, The Root Slayer is certified to be 150% stronger than comparable shovels and we encourage you to use it as a pry-bar. We have redesigned the Root Slayer XL to include a metal core to reinforce the shaft. Hope this helps!

Can this be used to separate banana pups from the mother corm without damaging either the corm or the pups?

Should do it. It's not a real thick blade but its strong so easy to get in hard to reach places.
