I know one is serrated on the left and one on the right. Generally do you cut with the serrated side or blade side? What would a right handed person generally use? Thanks.
If you are right handed you will want a Lesche with the teeth on the left because as you cut roots you will be pulling toward yourself while cutting in a clockwise pattern.
If you are left handed you will want a Lesche with the teeth on the right because as you cut roots you will be pulling toward yourself while cutting in a counter-clockwise pattern.
Left and right are designated as you hold the shovel in your hand upright and pointed away from yourself.
Hope this helps.

I believe they are sold the opposite way. For a right hander the serration is on the right. You use the smooth sharp side to cut through grass and the serrated side for tree roots.
That's where my confusion is. Do you generally cut with the smooth or serrated side? They are advertised as if you would cut with the smooth side.
The serrated edge is on the right side of the blade
Those are some heavy duty diggers. My problem with those are no one would ever let me hunt in their yard if they saw me carrying one of those.
I normally would not carry a shovel like that into a yard because of its appearance, truthfully though, if used correctly they make as neat (or neater) a plug than a smaller instrument.
