Expert Gardener 43" Black & Yellow Weeder for Taproot Plants

This tool goes deep into where the weed root is. It doesn't make a huge hole in the ground. It's very easy to get it in the dirt with a little foot pressure, then you WHACK and pull up and the whole entire root is gone. Very cool product at a nice price. It is very sturdy and will last.

I have a few large garden beds that can take up a lot of my time and be a burden on my body. I can keep my garden beds somewhat weed free throughout the growing season by using weed killer but every once in a while I have to go through and do a touch up here and there. My new Expert Gardener Weeder is amazing. It is a heavy duty metal but is surprisingly lightweight. I used it when the soil was very wet so the spikes slid in with ease when using the step pusher. And you just pull it out and pop those weeds in a pile for one easy clean up. This worked better for my really big deep weeds like the dandelions but kind of broke up when I tried it on the clover. But I don't mind, my hands tend to lose strength faster these days and sometimes it can be hard to dig and pull those deeper rooted weeds out. I have found this tool to be very helpful and I'm going to purchase one for my grandma so she can enjoy gardening without the added work.

This is impressive but came with no instructions so I'm not sure exactly how to use it. Think I stab it next to a weed and twist.....? I'll have to try it and also will see if I can find some directions on Google. Unfortunately we have snow on the ground so I won't be using it soon. But spring is coming!

Haven't used this Weeder yet, but I was impressed with the bulk and potential of this new tool. My plans are to use this in removing all the roots and vines from a huge area that has ground Ivy growing in it. I'm confident this tool is going to be useful

This is hands down one of the best tools for the yard I've ever used. I have a few plants and weeds that constantly come back and are back breaking to pull. This tool takes care of that issue and saves my back and cleans up the flower bed!! I can't wait to really put it to use this spring and not have a sore back or hands afterwards!! Easy for all to use!! The handles make turning it to loosen up the roots easy and effective!!

WOW - this is beyond sturdy - 5 year warranty! We are under a foot of snow so won't be using till spring but this weeder is like nothing I've ever seen. I've had several that break after a few uses - flimsy, weak materials used. This one is gonna be a lifetime helper for those like me that can't get down on my hands and knees to pull the weeds.

Very nice and sturdy but might be better for big weeds because on little weeds it takes out too much dirt.

No more bending over to pull out weeds with tap roots or so I had hoped. Very straightforward – push down, rotate, pull out, and use the plunger on top to push weed and soil off the blades. Unfortunately or fortunately the weeds I have do not have substantial tap roots and most of the time, just fall off on their own. I still have to reach down and pick up the weed and shake the dirt back in the hole. It is a very well-made tool with no plastic on the essential parts.

Much easier than sitting down or kneeling and trying to get all the roots with a hand tool. The only reason I am not giving it five stars is that it does leave small holes in the yard (maybe 2-3 inches in diameter?). I am not sure there is a way to make it as easy to use as it is without that as you are essentially taking a plug out of the lawn that contains the dandelion, but the holes do bug me a bit.

Downrated for lack of instruction sheet. Although I have been gardening all my life, it's not clear to me how this tool operates. There's a small piston-like piece that comes down between the prongs when I press on the yellow handle. How does that eliminate taproots? By squashing them? And where are the larger and smaller openings in the yellow piece to be placed? No doubt, someone who has used this tool find it easy, but they aren't here. There's not even a phone number to call. The whole tool is metal, so it should stand up to hard use, if I can figure out how to use it.
