I bought a small hand held fiskars digger from homedepot has serrated edge on one side and is about 8 inches long so can easily be tucked in back pocket for the parks and the serrated edge is killer for sawing roots cost me about 10 bucks i got it as an upgrade to a tool like yours which was S shaped..
What side should the serrated edge be on on the hand diggers?
I'm tempted to go the $10.00 home depot route, just so I can get ASAP, but don't mind going to higher quality route. My digging tools are all busted at the moment. My small shovel is sand locked from the river so I can't tighten down the collapsable blade. And my cheapie garden trowels which probably should of been left to potting soil are bent lol.
