Grampa's Metal Weeder - Stand Up Weed Puller Tool With Steel Long Handle - Made With All Steel Handle & 4-Claw Steel Head - Easily Remove Weeds Without Bending, Pulling, or Kneeling (Black)

I'm amazed by this Grampa's Weeder. We're both mid-60s and pulling weeds is not big on our list. However, this winter I didn't tend the land as much as I should have and a large number of thistle weeds invaded the yard. My bride found the Grampa's Weeder when looking online for weed removal products and I ordered one. We got the 45" wooden handle model and began using it this morning. I've already ordered a second because this works so well. Absolutely easy to use. Center the 4 tines in the all metal weed removal head directly over the center of the weed and step on the side bar to push the tines in, surrounding the weed stem. Then rock the handle toward the side with the foot bar. That rocks the weed removal head to the side and pulls the weed right out of the ground. It brings the weed roots and tap root with it. It leaves almost nothing in the ground except a small divot where the weed roots used to be. We worked less than an hour and filled two 40-pound birdseed bags with weeds. It isn't effortless but it's the best way we've either seen to pull weeds. The thistles have quite a tap root and if you try to pull them out by hand all you do is pull off the leaves. With Grampa's Weeder everything comes up with the leaves. Worst case scenario is we have to drop half a cup of topsoil in the small divots that remain. Easy 5 Star recommendation on this. That's why we have already ordered a second one.
